I would offer them cash for keys, or contact your attorney and start the eviction process if they decline.

I decided not to contact the foreclosed upon owner (who lives in the house) about moving and redemption rights before the district court approved the sale. 

Feel free to reach out and I can share her contact info with you.

I have an available and reliable contact in Chicago, but am concerned about that time window.

Much easier if your local contact has worked with these companies before.  

Ask for References – Request contact info for past clients who have used them for investment loans. 4.

I also have some solid contacts I can bring into play.

@Jim LynchSome typical minimum tenant screening requirements look like the following, but it depends on your market:-Renter has a gross monthly income of 3x more than the monthly rent-Minimum credit score of 650-Renter must have no prior evictions-No felons (or other notable criminal history)There are a number of different tenant screening softwares out there such as Zillow Rental Manager, TransUnion SmartMove, etc.Be sure to complete an employment verification by contacting the renter's employer and confirm the details they shared with you, landlord verification (if they have a previous landlord), credit check, and background check.

I know you are pitching your program or software that you want to sell, but I don't think it is really solving the personal contact problem.

When I contacted James Wachob, he downplayed her connection to FPM and implied he might have helped if I’d stayed with them.
