He specifically told me that they have a check box on the form they need to fill out that literally catalogues if the interior plumbing connection is a pipe that potentially contains lead.

I don't have the answer you're looking for, but I also have a house with water pooling around an AT&T fiber box in the ground.

I spent about 5 hours looking for properties on rental.com, zillow and redfin, My niche is multifamily and I have decided to kick off with house hack.

I purchased the property for cash, as-is, then spent every evening and weekend for 9 months doing a full gut rehab on the place myself.

Appraisers get things like that a lot and usually they are crap, someone cherry picking a high comp from 2 years ago, saying how much they spent on upgrades etc.

And I feel the lock box advertised the place as empty.

On top of that, they spent over $800 in the span of ~50 vacant days.Long story short, I am willing to pay Meridian Property Managment (in Memphis) the average cost of utilities, but that only comes out to $438.75 for the days they were there.This would make me $372.73 (utilities owed) + $200 (they did not replace a fixture, as confirmed by my realtor) short of what they are asking for, and they are threatening to file a lien (presumably mechanic's) if it isn't "paid in full."
