Blue ridge is a mess, people are desperately trying to get rid of the STR's I know 2 or 3 people that bought in the last 2 years and ended up loosing 100k or so in a year.

These allrequire applicants to submit an acceptable Letter of Explanation addressing each specific issue and occurrence.Rental HistoryBecause a current landlord may say anything to get rid of a bad tenant out of desperation, we also requireinformation for the previous landlord of all applicants.

I would never sell sub2 unless I was really, really desperate.

I desperately need my own place for myself and girlfriend and her 5 yr old son. 

Do I then have to try desperately to get one of the other 2 properties under contract and closed by the end of the 180 days?

The landowner will have a great negotiating position when you have built and maintained a rental property and are desperate to renew your lease or purchase.

It's old and desperate.

@Steve Cribb to be successful, landlords need to set boundaries.Many tenants, especially desperate ones, try to make their problems their landlord's problems.As a PMC, we try to be reasonable, as "life happens" and "tenants are tenants for a reason", meaning they don't plan well and live paycheck to paycheck.Part of our being reasonable though, involves deadlines and we AUTOMATICALLY start the eviction process so a tenant knows this. 

And in this case, it's because the government is bankrupt and desperate to attract investment.

Some tell me how desperate the sellers are.
