Delivered log prices are WAY down not up.. the profits are being made in the middle.

@Jason K.Having it delivered vacant will be far easier and would be the preference.

@Joe SplitrockIn Texas, the 30 day clock does not begin until the lease it terminated, property has been vacated AND the landlord has been delivered a forwarding address.  

If they knew what they were doing, their initial questions would be about the services offered and systems in place to deliver those services consistently!

And conversely, if I go out and start networking with cash buyers as “someone who can wholesale them great deals” before hand to get a base of buyers... how do I avoid becoming known as the guy who can’t deliver when it comes time to deliver a deal?

If you delivered a clean / clear unit and the tenant has had a hand in creating a pest issue by living sloppily, leaving food out, etc. they should remediate the problem or you can leave a few traps, poison, close holes, etc. as a courtesy.If the problem is very severe, hire a professional and bill back to your tenant if they are unwilling to cooperate. 

The house is renovated, clean and was delivered vacant to me.It just has no amenities, it’s like very basic 2 bedroom housing.

@Lisa Labok deliver value, that is #1 importance and where 99.8% fail and why they fail as a whole. 

It is the opposite...the seller is responsible for ensuring the property is delivered to the buyer in the same condition as it was at the time of the accepted offer.

To cover your butt I would deliver the 60 day notice to vacate(unless in Kane, Will, Lake, or McHenry county where you can deliver 30 day notice to vacate still) and maybe that will bring them to the table to talk about plans.
