Specifically state what you are doing right now to get it re-rented and explain that you are moving as quickly as possible to mitigate the costs and damage to all parties involved.

The big part is knowledge of were and how to buy material.

What are you trying to accomplish by using these third party?

Your SLC friend sounds like their deal was more than a 2 party deal, which also takes that special personality to deal with partnerships.

It means the property has gone to public auction, but we have not yet received the sales data back from the auction to know whether it went back to the bank or whether it was sold to a third party at the auction.

A couple of previous buyers' financing fell through, and the owner is just tired of paying taxes on the property.I am going to get a third party estimate on repair and definitely get osmeone to check for mold/termites etc.

I have finally gotten a hold of most of the parties involved so it looks like it might move forward.

why don't you keep the pool, that way you can invite some girls over and have a pool party!

The only time I didn't escrow the HOA (stupid on my part) I ended up foreclosing.

You may have another party moving in and having to clean or have a maid in to clean in one day and wow...no water.
