The water from the sewer softened the foundation and the wall fell out and the house was condemned and had to be torn down.

It's a fantastic home with updated AC, furnace, water heater, roof, etc. but it's extremely dated.

I like public water and sewer, but I will look at private systems.

This motivated seller has a wife and two kids and trying to stay above water in their finances resulting in living with their parents so I feel troubled to request to add this item in the contract. 

Trina, my property manager, looked them up and they don't exist.The police REFUSED to act or intervene as this 'tenant' had a lease and said the only way to remove him is to file for eviction through the courts which will take 60 days.Trina is getting power and water turned off straight away to make it less comfortable for the guy.

@Zachary Mowery You don't have to pay the taxes and water each quarter.

This is related to my earlier post - http://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/52/topics/1349...I'm about to get him to sign an Early Lease Break Addendum stating that we will meet in the middle and he will pay for one of the two month's he is bailing on the lease and damages to the counters which were not easy water stains but probably oil stains and I will need for sure that whole month to get the unit back in shape.

Why would you want to buy something sub2 that is probably $100k under water?

About 18 months ago, I looked at a townhouse that was selling for $85,000 and needed probably $40-$50 of rehab including fixing the water damage.  

The lease says they are responsible for any damage to their personal property due to leaks/water.
