I think many, perhaps most, landlords start out with annual leases either because they feel it creates more stability or, more frequently here, the lender interprets an annual lease as being more stable.In reality, when a tenant decides to leave, a tenant is going to leave.  

Frankly, I'd much rather market to a better list, such as Foreclosures with equity and hit them hard and frequently. 

This ruling was put into place to mitigate the risk associated with the loan.http://203krehabnow.com/frequently-asked-questions...

Barring a major problem, figure 2-3 days to turn the average place around if no problems, a week tops if you're super busy.Obviously, you shouldn't start listing or showing if anything big needs to get done, but once the grass is mowed, snow shoveled, lightbulbs replaced, carpet vacuumed, I'd think you could certainly show it.

Eviction is a frequently mis-used word by property owners that don't really know what they are doing. 

We realize that house hacking is a good way to get started, but have struggled with leaving downtown as we like it so much.Due to a series of related events, we decided to that we should at least look at areas we like to frequent (Ohio City, Tremont and Detroit Shoreway)(these are neighborhoods the border downtown Cleveland for those not familiar. 

I tend to be in both cities fairly frequently. 

I frequently see BP posters asking if their rate is high or what they should be paying for this type of property.

We don't prioritize these faux deals over real deals, of course, so it takes two weeks from when my little "I need this and that paperwork" list is fully 100% complete without any omissions.They can still house hunt using standard contingencies during that period, naturally.I generally don't bring it up unless it's requested (typically by the realtor) because people get pissed about the additional paperwork I ask for that includes why this or that credit inquiry 4 months ago happened, etc.A concern, and something I've noticed come up more and more frequently lately, is lenders pretending it only takes 3 days to get through that 123 Main St underwrite and letting folks go in with no loan contingency because they THINK that they are credit/income/asset approved and have been lied to.

I frequent the one in white oak.
