If you're getting a lot of traction with prospective but qualified tenants that would like to view the unit - let them know the time that the leasing/showing agent will be there so they can view the interior.If they're going to lease the property for you - one to half a months rent is fair compensation.

In November we have seen the same exact pattern – inventory increased, prices are dropping, and the time to procure a qualified tenant increased.

Even if there isn't a lease in place, underwriting can use market rents from an appraisal to qualify.

Our mortgage was significantly higher than our flood insurance, and I don't know if we qualify to try to apply for FEMA or if there is other assistance, and if so, if we would apply as a business (we file it on our personal taxes as rental income).

@Dennis Boettjer, I will echo's Brian's comment and add: also take a look at some of the threads in the Syndications review forum: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/960I do not mean this as a "here are people to invest in or avoid", as there are some groups going through current issues that, personally, I would qualify as fairly strong syndicators, overall.  

The judge grants judgement and formally "orders" the sale which also occurs by public auction.

Rather than commenting on such a broad question, I generally ask some qualifying questions like:1.

Evictions unlikely take less than 60-90 days in Boston if you have formally evict. 

Many don't qualify for low down payment/FHA for a variety of reasons, especially the ones sub 200K. 

(Because of my podcast, I have access to many of them for one-hour discussions, but I know all of them would give a qualified investor 30 minutes at any time.)
