While the attorneys I work with on a regular basis are always fine with me bringing a cashier's check, pretty much all of the attorneys who don't know me require wired funds.

For $200 it's just not worth the hassle.However, you could enforce your existing lease and demand they clean up the yard as per the lease and maintain it on a regular basis.

We have NO funds to do so at this time as we are prepping the house to rent out to a regular family- no more room mate stuff!!

This would be a perfect time to wholesale 2 of the properties.We have a guy here in Columbus who bids on HUD's and just regular MLS deals and then wholesales them for less then they were originally listed for.

The tax benefits work toward our advantages, we both get regular paychecks from our companies.  

If I didn't call and ask, I would have committed to a deed that's way less favorable.The contract does say that they are not responsible for hardly anything, and it also has conflicting information.Here's an example of double language pertaining to title (10 of my contract):Seller shall be under no obligation to (A) remove any title exception, (B) bring any action or proceeding or bear any expense in order to enable Seller to convey title to the Property in accordance with this Agreement or (C) otherwise make the title to the Property insurable by the Title Company.BUT, right after that it says:IF, FOR ANY REASON, SELLER (A) IS UNABLE TO MAKE THE TITLE INSURABLE OR CORRECT TITLE PROBLEMS OR (B) IS UNABLE TO ASSIST THE BUYER IN PROCURING FROM THE TITLE COMPANY, OR ANOTHER REPUTABLE TITLE INSURANCE COMPANY, AN OWNER’S POLICY AND LOAN POLICY, IF APPLICABLE, AT REGULAR RATES (C) DETERMINES IN ITS SOLE DISCRETION THAT IT IS UNABLE, OR IT IS ECONOMICALLY NOT FEASIBLE, TO CONVEY GOOD AND MARKETABLE TITLE TO THE PROPERTY INSURABLE BY THE TITLE COMPANY, OR ANOTHER REPUTABLE TITLE INSURANCE COMPANY, AT REGULAR RATES, AT THE CLOSING DATE, AND THE CLOSING DATE IS NOT EXTENDED OR OTHERWISE AMENDED AS SET FORTH ELSEWHERE IN THIS AGREEMENT (OR BY SELLER IN ITS SOLE AND ABSOLUTE DISCRETION), OR (D) DETERMINES, IN ITS SOLE DISCRETION TO TERMINATE THE AGREEMENT AND DEEM THE AGREEMENT NULL AND VOID, IF REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW, AND/OR IF REQUIRED BY ANY EXISTING CONTRACT OR AGREEMENT BINDING UPON SELLER AND/OR THE PROPERTY, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY AGREEMENTSWITH THE PRIOR OWNER OF THE PROPERTY, ANY MORTGAGE INSURER OR ANY MORTGAGE BROKER, THEN SELLER MAY TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT BY WRITTEN NOTICE TO BUYER AND THE ESCROW/CLOSING AGENT.

I've got a regular job I enjoy, and at which I am paid very well.

My business is doing great and I am financially free from the regular 9-5 career that I once had at Wells Fargo that made me move to Nashville Tn back in 2003-2006.

Construction/remodel/maintenance is my husbands day job, though, so that is his knowledge base.The old single wides are more of a problem than doubles and the newer models that are made more like a regular house.

A tenant had a maintenance request about the bathtub handle.  It would come off and spray out when taking a shower.  So I sent my plumber out there this morning to fix it.  He called me and asked whether they had paid...
