Ive seen more than a few wreck their business by not following that custom.

Top notch Hoover schools in a neighborhood that has only become popular in the last 10 years or so.

If they were able to enter through customs and get a stamp showing they are here legally I would probably accept that.However, I must say that in my limited (3 separate tenants) experience the biggest issue I had was one guy smoking on the premise when it was prohibited.

If you or your parents are an obligator on the note you could look up the mortgage statement and call the customer service number to order the "mortgage note," or you can go back to your closing documents and the mortgage note should be in the closing package close to where the trust deed or mortgage papers are.

I always like nice trim (I was/am a finish carpenter by trade) and it occurs to me the structure as is would lend itself well to the "Prairie style" architecture (circa 1900) popularized by Frank Lloyd Wright an his contemporaries.

The company does have very positive grade with the BBB but if you go on BBB website you will also see how many unhappy customers they have. 

They were building a custom, smaller house and facing some health issues.  

I currently have a contract and am in due diligence on a foreclosed commercial property that was a popular deli/sandwich restaurant.  

Just don't let it affect your view of future tenants, there are some good ones out there and as having been one of them, it sucks when your landlord automatically assumes the worst just because you're a tenant - remember they're ultimately the customer.

The sink is custom made and has a horrible faucet on it.
