They simply did a desk appraisal, whereas a couple other lenders either wouldn't do that or made me pay for a horrendously bad appraiser.

Example, we add a new agent and we simply connect them with a Showmojo staffer and that person gets walked thru all of the set up steps. 

I would say probably about 5-7 appointments per contract. ( this is not hard numbers simply a guesstimate.)  

The m2m tenant presumably has lived there for MORE than 12 months, so based on AB1482 "no-fault eviction" legislation, you cannot simply give notice to vacate.

I've also dealt with tenants who simply want to be difficult.

They've got a travel trailer sitting on the septic for the time being.When we reached out, owner simply said they needed to hold off on selling it until next year b/c they sold their primary residence this year.Don't know much about tax implications of selling primary residence in the same year as a rental.  

If they don't complete the deal in 2 years, there is no messiness as their option period simply expires and the purchase portion of the deal is done.

Simply replying "I am just looking for now" is honest, and enough to stop the questions. 

And in this phase simply put, prioritize comfort and convenience in every decision.

I'm personally trying to get outta this hell hole, but others seem to like it here.
