At the very least have it tested before you buy, if you have to get it out on your own after the sale.

It sounds like a really good idea to get the data when homeowners are just behind, before they've even received a notice of default.

Will,I agree with you on being disgusted with all this garbage about the brand-new laws that will take effect in 2014, and no one will know how the law will play out until 2014 and also until it is tried and tested.

Test the market to see what it will bare.
