It's in Yolo County and basically my client is just finishing his own subdivision plan from 1920 or something (the subdivision he's completing is literally across the street from his primary residence).   

The property is low maintenance, the other tenants are all 5+ years in place, the total rent is 2800 and expenses looks to be under 2000 per month.I basically have an offer accepted and a small down payment where do I go from here?

Basically the state will inspect all rental homes for mold, rodents ect?

My assumption is that a lien of 1M for whatever age old violations on a 200K property would basically make this property unsellable and that the city would in the interest of seeing the property purchased and turned around more open to reducing the lien to some more reasonable based on the market value of the property.

Then you come up with a letter where you basically tell that person your interest in purchasing their property.

He said he basically had to gut the entire house, everything but the 4 brick walls.

Agents that that understand investing and basic principals like cash flow and appreciation are an enormous value add Vs the agent who is showing you a house because it has a “pretty” kitchen.

The basic and relatively cheap updates will go a long way. 

You will collect your tax statement from the lender and basically duplicate it to the new owners, both of you cannot take deductions for this3.

This often happens because the landlord forgets to ask for certain remedies when bringing the ejectment action because they are in such a rush to get the tenant out.In Pennsylvania, an appellate court held that these installment land contracts are basically residential mortgages as well.
