Extensive mold problems are best remedied by a contractor who specializes in mold remediation.

He's clearly someone who would be really great to know because of his extensive knowledge and contacts, but I'm not sure how to break through.

You may want to get extensions of 1 year lease, like lease for 12 months with 6 possible 12 month extensions.

As long as your lender can fund by the Close of Escrow date (extensions are often possible), you can use the HML for your cash.

Typically, we would either sell the property, or conduct a short-sale with the 1st, which is essentially negotiating a discounted pay-off with the 1st mortgage.In reference to another one of your questions, if you are foreclosing from 2nd position, and the 1st is foreclosing is a few months behind you, the benefit in this is that you have control of the foreclosure sale.For example, the 1st is $100,000, and the payoff for the 2nd is $50,000.

If we do this, there may be a rate lock extension penalty we would have to incur.

Now what we do is different then most other companies, one we only take houses in good locations to find a mrs long term tenant, and then we do a pretty extensive background check.

Phill grove talks about this niche extensively in his AMPS program.

@Rob Cee this topic has been discussed extensively in the past.

If I had conducted all of my business properly the tenant wouldn't have a valid claim, I wouldn't hire an attorney, I'd state the facts, show the books, any issue to evict should be evidenced by the facts, not much legal maneuvering to it.
