My properties I don't expect appreciation (multi's are in area's I wouldn't live but I haven't been shot at yet either :)) to be significant and my goal was primarily additional cash flow.

Just a shot in the dark, but the owner may be paying taxes and maintenance on the property during a "redemption period" and waiting until that period ends to do anything with the property?

That meant the underlying mortgage was receiving advanced funds from another lender and that's a pretty secure position to be compared to an individual.A snap shot of called notes won't give you much but a warm fuzzy feeling.

And thought the extra work was worth the shot at double dipping on their extra month provided I could get it leased right away.Now here's my second story.

Any savvy investors want to take a shot at this one?

I'll give it another shot.

An energetic, enthusiastic, hardworking, and motivated individual is usually someone that seasoned investors will give a shot to.

It's already 6/15, school starts back up around 8/25, so to me the best way to win the war is to try to get him to move out quick so you have a shot at renting to the folks with kids wanting to move before the next school year starts.Personally I'd approach it along the lines of "it sounds like there was a bit of a misunderstanding [don't acknowledge fault] with the PM, maybe we can chat and see if we can come up with something that works for both of us".

Jimmy Moncrief -- I will take a shot, although this isn't a straight financing question:What do you think the "real" risk is that banks will attempt to call mortgages using the "due on sale" clause if properties move from single-owner into single-member LLC?

It's worth a shot though.
