Have they talked to their landlord and explained the situation ?
I think that any landlord with common sense would rather have a clean vacant property to re-rent, rather than tenants that cannot afford to pay who are staying rent free.

They aren’t leaving the state because of a mouse in their garage, are they ??

Are you kidding ? it’s in the GARAGE!!
What did the LL do wrong ?

Where I live, there are spiders, mice, rats, bats, coyotes, snakes, ants, hummingbirds, orioles, hawks and an occasional mountain lion in the ‘hood
The species were all here before the house was built.

Only the critters with good taste (or an education) want to live in an upscale community.

I’ve been a landlord for about 25 years. I would tell you to get some traps. The mice were probably in the area before you moved in.

Do you realize how much your landlord is probably losing every month by renting to you ?
I’m a better landlord than most, but won’t put up with “demanding” tenants.

If you want to hire an exterminator, they will set traps or spray and when the critters return they will charge you to do it again.

If you OWNED the house, do you think that a mouse wouldn’t appear ? You going to complain to the lender and demand they get rid of it or you are outta there ?

OMG

SD,
I live in a REO purchased from BofA in 1996. At that time, they did not want to offer any financing, they wanted it off their books, It had been empty for a year.

They didn’t want a pre-qual either. After a few months of negotiating, we came to terms and got outside financing.

CW is only demanding approval through their offices, not requiring CW financing. What’s the big deal ?

I did have to buy the property “as is” without warranty.
That didn’t turn out to be a problem for me.

DWC,
Plenty of people have bought real estate (and stocks) without really understanding the fundamentals, and have STILL made money.

Was it luck, skill, intelligence or stupidity ? (I’ll let you decide) You can make money by making “stupid” decisions.

Houses that I used to buy for $90K-$125K are $350K-$400K+ today. It’s insane. The value ISN’T there.(The price is)

Even if I only think that they are worth $200K today, and never buy another one, that’s OK with me. If someone else wants to pay $201 or 225 or 250, I don’t care.

There are plenty of others that think like me. We aren’t going to fight over these stucco boxes or get into bidding wars.

If enough people step up to the plate sooner rather than later, maybe prices won’t drop as far as I think that they should.

Buying a rental in So Cal today is a gamble. Most are not going to pencil out for a long time. If someone wants to speculate, that’s not investing IMO.

A boat is a hole in the water that you throw money into, an “investment” house shouldn’t be one too.

Prices aren’t cheap today, they are only cheaper than they were 2 years ago.

Most people have a false sense of security of what their home is worth today. In reality, it’s virtually unsaleable at more than 80%-90% of what they think.

over 90% of what is currently listed in SD isn’t selling, and thousands more have listings that have expired, and would still love to sell, but they can’t.
