I enjoyed that series in the past, and attended all the games including the two in South Bend.

So I guess with my various experiences, I assume the worst when I hear your story but if you can prove yourself to me, I'm willing to bend just a little over time.

A bank will not take a short sale if you have assets that could be used to make up the difference.JonI mean in your opinion with the current situation with the market and loans would they bend some of there policies and and let someone else that is quaified assume the loan if I admit to them that I can no longer make these payements as relief to the current borrower?

A bank will usually bend over backwards as far as they can for a new customer that is or is very close to being a doctor.

You do not want to make a habit of trying to make what you see bend to your idea of what you think you know as you will mislead yourself while trying to learn.  

@Alex Kovalenko I understand the tenants reasoning, however Alex as being a landlord I think you shouldn't bend your policies for a tenant regarding the background check.

@Salvatore LentiniI split time between the CA Bay Area and Bend OR - two very high priced markets.

Because you first have to be familiar with the specifics of what the law says, in order for you to know how to properly bend that law to your advantage because often times the devil is in the details, and as always consult a real tax professional.

Are you actively investing in the South Bend area?

I certainly wouldn't mind accommodating a tenant if they wanted to terminate the lease early due to some fault of my own, but being the proactive person that I am, I bend over backwards to make sure my end of the lease agreement is followed to the T.
