I say thank the tenant for the call and get yourself or someone over there for an hour's worth of labor to caulk under the sink and make the drawer work properly.  

You don't appear to have a properly prepared contract for deed agreement.  

If you have reserves you have confidence, and time to properly qualify tenants (weed out the bad ones) and ask the one that somehow turned bad on you to leave your rental unit as soon as you think it needs to be done so you do not compound problems with differed maintenants!

Any advise in closing deals on your own (with the proper advisers) would be appreciated.

Not only can they include verbiage to protect your purchase transaction, they can also verify that proper procedures have been followed, proper Notices given, and letters testamentary have indeed been issued; which means that those with standing to object have been given their opportunity to do so, and either agreed to the sale, or their objections have been quashed.I am perhaps more sensitive to the importance of using counsel whenever dealing with probate purchases because I lost significant capital on a $2.5 million purchase literally at closing when one of the previously unnamed beneficiaries served an injunction to stop the sale.

Additionally, I'd make sure he has the proper liability insurance.

I am adding to that statement that the idea that is arising around NOO being "OK" to not put with a servicer is not a proper idea.  

In my opinion, so many people react negatively to 1) things they don't understand or 2) things they wouldn't choose to do themselves.  

(sometimes longer than you might expect), for their name to appear below where you're writing, then be sure to click on it.IF it doesn't have their name highlighted in a blue background (like yours is above) it didn't work properly and you should try again.

one quick google search of this guy's name " Kevin Lamont Williams" turns up several scam reports.Good to know that my scam alert radar is still functioning properly.
