seeing how we probably wont go to court until June,  he will owe $9900 in past due rent NOT including late fees. is there a way to collect or report him to the credit agency or do we just take our lumps and call it a loss? 

No bridge loans, unless the property didn't qualify for agency (meaning, hasn't been 90% occupied for 90 days), but if I did do bridge, I'd structure it like agency--take a lower LTV and no renovation reserve.  

I’m a realtor, rep for a national title agency, and an investor myself.

Another option depending on asset type (multifamily), is going agency.

Might be worth it with rates as low as they are right now.You're right about agency debt (Fannie/Freddie).

Actually I wouldn't use a person for that listing, I'd use some agency because it's that regularized audience and having a known brand for tenants as "the" place to look that drives so much traffic. 

Keep in mind all  loan service'rs are not equal and need to report SOMETHING  to the credit agency.

A license is necessary to work for a real estate agency and assist others in the sale or purchase of a property.  

I've spoken to a rental agency in Summit twnshp who feels it will rent no problem fro 16-1800$/mo.  

Therefore the contract is cancel able by you at any time with no commission owed to that agent or agency.
