Question: Should we rent this house(2nd home), which has offers for $820k off-market to sell, or rent for $5k, which also has interested parties? 

This coinvestment is what mitigates the risk of the other party taking risks that could be a detriment to the investor.

The hardest part is having the deals.

Didn't provide payoffs to non interested parties as there is a cost.

Depending on his “abilities,” you can get his forwarding address by following the law that actually applies to both parties here:ORC Section 5321.16 (B) “… The tenant shall provide the landlord in writing with a forwarding address or new address to which the written notice and amount due from the landlord may be sent.

Sounds like I'm a little late to the party.. but I'd also mention that one tiny speck of mold / bacteria / something per plate, is actually a stellar result.That means, only one spore probably landed on each spot.If you had a mold problem, I'd expect to see the entire top of that thing cover over, pretty much all at once.

Some are only there to party and don't understand the responsibility they're taking on when signing these leases.

Close spaces mean hearing others’ arguments, infants crying, doors slamming, bad music playing, occasional loud birthday parties, cookouts, etc.

Great Thank you Mark for your asnwer, very helpful.I am looking as something a little more " done deal" thank an option to by as from what io understand the seller can still sell to other parties. is there a close that stops that?

There's really nothing unique to a short sale's distress, you just need a third party to approve of the transaction...
