Flipping Houses that Have Tenants in Them By Current Owner
We've found that most of the landlord owners that we deal with don't want us to let their tenant know that they're trying to sell the house for obvious reasons.
They tell us to tell the tenants that we're insurance agents, and the whole nine, to keep from alarming the tenants.
This can become an issue, as with each subsequent time that we have to show up at the property for a showing, the tenant gets more and more suspicious...
Either that, or they get increasingly more and more harder to work with to schedule showings, etc.
What do you do to make things go at least as smooth as possible in these situations?
Is there any effective way to offer an incentive to both the current owner/landlord and the tenant (or one or the other is fine, as well)?
