A roof repair of a leak is deductible.

The problem started when the basement unit's owner notified the HOA about a slow leak in a pipe that runs exposed across his ceiling.

Mold on hardwood floors sounds little unusual but I guess not impossible.I would arange to have the Father meet you there so you can both look at the apartment together and both see this alleged mold on the floor, and if there is mold than sure you can early get it remediated relatively cheap.Had there been a flood,moisture or any leaks in the rental unit prior?

Secondly, being the first offer in, being all cash, showing POF, EMD, and corporate docs, and having zero to 5 day contingency provides you the best shot.

Is there a way to put the Option to Purchase doc in some kind of escrow until the T/B completely pays you off?

Next consider that renting your mobile home will almost inevitably end in a tenant missing some water issues, leaving windows open, doors open for water to enter, leaks without fixes, other damages, etc to your mobile home.

If you pull credit you might retain that for one year and then use a secure destruction method.I could burn docs in a barrel faster than shred them. :)

Looking at a foreclosed house that has a leaking roof and has been that way for about 2 years, the rafter tails in a few of the leaking spots look rotted, not terribly, but a good portion of the ends have that black rotting from water damage.

A leak from a dishwasher can ruin the entire floor.

And I'd say over half of those had no recorded docs for title company to include in a title report.
