You can stop the lease if it "doesn't work out" by giving the tenant notice.

Here our privacy laws - and good judgement - would preclude providing personal information about one tenant to another.They're adults, they can work out their own issues.

They should stay in the house and try to work out a loan modification or short sale with the bank.

But I held off.I never even looked at the property in person.Next time something like this comes up, I'll try to work out a deal where I don't have to put 20% of my own money down, and can gain the equity in other ways.

So you can judge their interest level.If you find someone who is interested work out a bird dog fee or partnership with them.

@Dee Xixi,I hope everything will work out for you.

Rent too low for the ASKING price; buy for less and it could work out.

I am speaking from years of experience handling the design and maintenance of three high end hotels in Seattle, Portland, and New York.Cheap carpet wears out three times faster than carpet that's only twice as much.If your flooring is top of the line, a few dollars a month increase will pay it off, and it's easy to get a few more dollars when your property looks spectacular.No matter what you do or say, someone's always going to smoke inside, spill drinks, potty train a dachshund, practice naked yoga, and/or feed their kids too much sugar.

I work out of Everett as well.

Things like this rarely work out.
