As I explained to my attorney if the owner can keep her home then I'm happy for them.My concern was mainly as to what others thought about the deal and your experiences, per the commissioner with 30+ years experience he had never seen this happen before. 

Education is probably the key.Going forward knowing the answers to her concerns - and the ones she hasn't thought of yet - will go a long way toward understanding what REI is and what it isn't.Fear defeats everyone who lacks the knowledge to overcome their fears.Right now, of course, she's right: going into REI uneducated is an unwarranted gamble.

I caught the loan up and gave seller a little cash.Mark sure when you get authorization to speak to lender that the authorization is full access, meaning you can speak to the lender regarding statement mailing address, insurance, impound account, etc.

My concern is that If I did have to finance, some of the same properties wouldn't.  

---My concern is what if tenant pays rent during eviction proceeding.  

What did you put in the rental agreement to address this?

Looking at the deal, I have two main initial concern/opportunities I don't have much experience and I'd appreciate any input/advice:seller broker marketed implementing Water RUBS as one of the upside (actually factored into NOI proforma in which asking price is based on).

. §38-12-103(1) requires you to deliver the deposit (or the accounting of it) to the “last known address of the tenant” who deposited it with you.

The Nest is pretty simple and you have to tie it to an email address but the factory reset and setup is fairly easy to do. 

I give them the address of a house and tell them where the key is hidden if the door is not unlocked.
