She has sold them all and turned to the Independance area where the rents are higher and she has had fewer tenant issues. 

However, in order to initiate a "rent strike" and not pay rent, at least in Texas, there are specific notification and response windows that have to be met (by the tenant) and failed (by the landlord) before the tenant can take any of this action.If you have your requests and invoices for the efforts to remedy the situations, if the issues named were never reported, and If the report appears retaliatory in intent, you're probably in good shape.

All the while didn't get a deal due to my own issues fear and lack of understanding.

Hi @Tapiwa Wakatama,It seems like it would be a liability issue and they don't want to take the risk since it doesn't hold pressure.

My biggest issue with the services is the difficulty of obtaining bulk data. 

Hey guys, just wanted to say thanks again for the feedback on this issue.

But, in researching this a bit, with the intention of wholesaling properties to build some cash, I find that there's a lot of debate over whether you can actually wholesale pre-foreclosures once the NOD has been issued, or the NOS.

Here we have 'leave live' agreements with the utility to keep the power on between tenants.The few bucks saved by not having power in your name for a little while can cost much more apparently.I would run the dehumidifier a couple days and revisit the issue with your tenant.  

It opens up equitable title, inspection and failure to close issues for the seller.

No issues for you, just give the details of work performed, and a reasonable cost for the work, broken out in 5-6 categories.
