I was really worried about the bankruptcy but I see it in a different light now. It was the responsible thing to do because they wanted to get their life back on track. I will now contact employers and finish up with the other checks. Thank you for the help!

I just bought my 1st rental property which is a duplex. I have had about 30 viewings now over the coarse of 2 weeks for my 1 bedroom suite. I just received my 1st application. They have lots of positives, nice older couple, their combined income is over 3 x rent, the ladies been employed at same job for 9 years & they have no debt. But there are 3 red flags: 1. They declared bankruptcy in 2012. 2. The guy just started a new job this week after getting laid off from his previous job. 3. They are currently selling their house so I don't know how long that will take because I don't think they can afford both. I really like the couple so I'm not sure what to do. Would you guys accept or deny their application? Any suggestion would be great, thanks!

Sounds good thank you.

I am working a private deal where the seller has contacted multiple cash buyers. I have the best offer so far but she is taking her sweet time to accept my offer. I think she is contacting more buyers to try to beat my offer. Should I contact her and give her a deadline for when I will withdraw my offer? Or just wait to see what she does? Any suggestion would be great, thanks!

Great idea, thanks!

I had a motivated seller contact me because he has a house he wants to get rid of. It's been vacant for 2 years. I had an appointment today to go see this vacant house but he never showed up, never called & I called him and left messages. It's really annoying. Do any of you have issues with people not showing up after they make appointments to show you their house? Any tips to avoid tire kickers?
