On the commercial side we do 3-4% of rents (not apartment buildings, but office, retail, free standing, etc). 

With the rains this past week, I was able to identify where there was standing water for an hour or so after the storm passed, so I suspect the grading of the sidewalk running along the house is the main source of the problem.Does anyone have a recommendation for someone that can address our drainage/moisture issues, and ideally also do whatever treating is necessary on the interior?

In the future I’ll try to stand my ground depending on the issue or request.

This likely stands true for all reverse mortgages but not 100% sure if it's the same for a jumbo reverse not serviced by HUD. 

Good strategy for real life (RL) however lenders, atleast with respect to conventional agency (fannie/freddie/ginnae mae) will not be able to use rental income from non legal units on a 1 unit property in 99% of cases (some limited ones for extenuating circumstances or caretaker who lives with you to take care of you).In real life you're getting income and yes this is awesome and it helps to cover the payment but from a qualification stand point we'll only be able to use 75% of gross rents if there are legal units.

So if he wants "a little more than what he owes" plus the $6k tax lien you're looking at ~ $115,000 - $120,000 on a ARV or $140,000 it's going to have to be turnkey for it to stand a chance.
