Should I have agreed LOI terms with all 3 properties and sort of "lie" that we intend to use them for our contract even though we are only choosing one of three?

Many times they cut back the number of policies they write or become more selective, but lately they're just flat out leaving.

I don't know how long it can last though as it is the sort of channel that once to many people start doing the whole channel will become ineffective.

Here's our advice about selecting a PMC, you may want to read it and apply it for better results in the future - coincidently, we do use tenant screening as an example of what owners should ask more questions about!

Would love to connect and see what sort of strategies you are looking at and for what areas.

I think that your best bet is to offer the Holder of the Contract for deed some sort of discount if they refinanced out of the contract for deed so you could get your equity, short of that I don't think you have a lot of options.

Sort of split the difference.2) Offer them moving expenses and/or to return their entire deposit if they decide to move out3) Discount the rent while the renovation as going on since it will surely be an inconvenience

To avoid going through the same poor experience, keep reading.Even if someone gives you a referral here, do NOT make the mistake of assuming that the PMC will meet your expectations, just because they met the expectations of the referral source.In our experience, the #1 mistake owners make when selecting a Property Management Company (PMC) is ASSUMING instead of CONFIRMING.It's often a case of not doing enough research, as they don't know what they don't know!

good points, made the first mistake before and i'm still sorting thru my messages lol

I don't know a ton about tax lien investing but my advice for note investors is to be selective as to when you order title reports (can get pricey if you run too many), but it can be wise to pay a bit more (two-owner search, for example) for a more thorough search for those assets you are likely to purchase.
