@Timmy Fritz I think the main issue is identifying what your mother is interested in gaining from the sale.

You can clean a property, set up a wireless alarm system, turn the power or the gas on and off, touch up paint throughout a fixed house, go through the MLS, answer the phone, follow a checklist, fetch coffee and donuts, plug numbers into a calculator or spreadsheet, file paperwork, and drive.

I would say it comes down to what is in your lease.My lease says they are responsible for the remainder of their lease or until I have it rerented.My lease also says if they have pest problems during the first 30 days I will take care of it, beyond that they are responsible because I can't control how clean they keep their place and leaving out food attacks critters.Will their deposit cover the last month and is their any damage or is it mainly just a cleaning issue?

rents on topsham maine are bit all over map, generally higher than lisbon lewiston but not much lower than Brunswick if inside rt 295 line closer to downtown and river. zillow isnt used much as CL. if you rent section 8 or vouchers look to add price of landlord paid heating, snow ice removal, salt sanding,  which this season has been massive. 

Middlesex and Monmouth counties is my main area.

Main St. has always been nice but only 2-3 streets inland and you can see quite a difference.

Knowledge is power, but also a burden.

Close to military base, and next to a lot of businesses and churches, 1 block away from the main street of the town. 

Install newplumbing supply and drain lines to main bathroom on second level and new full bathroom location in basement.This will include the labor for both rough-in and finish work.

Remember, our main goal is to get this under contract so we can make other buying and business decisions.1) We'll give him an 11% earnest money deposit.
