The other option is simply charge them $X (equal to one month's rent for example) and if you find a new tenant sooner, then keep all of that money as it is a fee for breaking the lease vs the first where they are paying rent.

At one point, I was even accused of being unprofessional simply for demanding answers.

In my latest sale, even though I could have easily added the egress for a 3rd, my agent simply planted the suggestion for another bedroom in the ad. 

Not saying they are bad deal but that one party always has the the win win scenario. 

Thank you for taking the time to reply - in fact, I was just thinking about this and yes, I believe that I would - the reviews and information that I have gathered all suggests that the businesses in the area are simply awful - and it would be interesting for them to have some competition.

I've had several wins that way; nice as it offsets those losses that are bound to happen with repair expenses!

Or you simply do what wholesalers do and send out mailers offering to buy the note.

I win in court and tenant is kicked out in 24-48 hours.In 90% of all situations, the tenant leaves before I have to file in court, I use their deposit to cover unpaid rent and as much cleaning/repairs as possible, and I move on.

If you aren't requiring background checks for someone simply because they aren't a citizen, then you shouldn't require them for people claiming to be citizens.Treat all people equally.

The way foreclosures are offered varies greatly around the country, and we don’t know where you are located… but where I am at they are all cash affairs, with the money due within 24 hours of winning the bid.
