Hey Steve we put on 2 monthly forums in Scottsdale. 1 for fix/flippers and the other for STR investors, no sales pitches or courses just a market update and networking with other professionals and service providers!

I have a few good friends that would use me if I can service their HM needs.

Just give them a non renewal notice.

Looking ahead, once you secure a tenant, perhaps this is something that should be explored to make the next lease up easier.Also, @Caria Mitchell raised an interesting point in saying: We are experiencing a shortage of qualified applicants, I’ve noticed non-conventional applicants vs qualified applicants that don’t have a voucher or some form of subsidy.

Seller finance the property- ask for an up front, non-refundable down payment of $XXX (which could be used as his primary residence down payment), payments of $X over X years at X interest rate with a balloon payment in X years2.

I spoke with the title company who is still helping us wrap up the set-up of a servicing company, and she confirmed that they would be responsible for the principal / interest for Nov and Dec, while we are responsible for the escrow shortage balance (as agreed upon).Not sure how it was missed - not my favorite title company to work with.

If you did not like that experience, maybe you should try a smaller company to get a more personalized service experience.  

You can be an agent, property manager, service provider, etc. 

Texas is non-disclosure.
