Check your local rules, but where I have rentals, the tenants need to be out by 1 pm on the last day of the month and you can organize with the new tenant what time they are moving in (eg 11 am).  

I own properties with section 8 tenants and am currently in the process of organizing the leases so as to sell the properties vacant next year. 

I'd also really appreciate any thoughts on choosing a big national bank vs. a smaller organization, as well as advice on how to filter through banking options to find a good fit. 

Which law applies in the case where an HOA organization is foreclosing the property?

As an example, the highest designation (MPM-Master Property Manager which I have) means that you have to have practical experience (you need 500 unit years- meaning if you managed 100 units, it would take you a minimum of 5 years), education (24 hours minimum of formal classes- or 3 days for this designation) as well as letters of recommendation from clients as well as peers (other MPMs) and you have to invest time in the property management organization be it locally, state-wide or nationally over YEARS.So the designation process, including those that are in their candidacy, takes a lot of effort and you grow through the process in many ways including wisdom (a lot actually)! 

No question it is the best source in getting motivated seller leads.People that are in trouble can tell their stories to a capture function and out of town dont wanters can unload.Just type in Sell _____ (whatever city you live in) home fast into Google, then contact all the ads to the right and see if they have someone in your area.

Once you have a shortlist, sign up for an account with each one and test them extensively to see how they function.

Type the city name into the search function on here and see how many threads come up.

Checkout some of the great Vrbo tools like market maker.You can see demand, occupancy of your competition for certain dates.The boost function can move you up in the search results for certain dates and it will also show you where you are in the search results for any dates you choose.I get most of my bookings from Vrbo and people always find me on there.

I often see investors pair a traditional LLC with a Series LLC to function in this capacity.
