I found it on MLS, negotiated a decent price, then renegotiated after the inspection found a significant water leak and related damage.

So I think you will have to figure out what the real damages are from the lease extension and if it is worth the time.

There is no structural damage, no flooding, etc and the appraiser stated the home was in good condition.

water lines in the ground last 60 to 100 years and do hardly any damage when they break.

We call finding properties and getting the info to prospective buyers "bird dogging".

Avoid the biggies like foundations, termite damage (unless it's easy to access and fix), mold / lead paint / asbestos remediation, full kitchen/bath remodels, etc. 

Unfortunate but it’s what you get with a free platform.It’s always difficult renting off peak, but hopefully you can show your prospective tenants that it’s better to sign a longer lease so they get themselves back onto a summer schedule so they have more options at the end of the lease term, too.

Thanks  Also remember that these insurance companies cover damage by guests, but not typically issues related to contractors, service providers and vendors.

Should they not heed your warning, you can notify any smoking damage will be taken out of the deposit. 

I was fascinated to hear how they operate, but there is a zero probability that we would implement any of the process he uses including what he sends to prospects if we are not already using it.
