Don't let them choose for you.Just inspect what you expect....Also I would talk to housing office in Memphis to get a feel of how many people are on the Section 8 waitlist, what kind of rents they pay, what zip codes are they targeting, see if they have any stats about how long tenants stay and average rent.While a lot of people try to look at google street view to get an idea of the neighborhood, there is no substitute for visiting in person.

I didn't pay cash.

I am not able to determine your purpose in posting this, since you did not also offer solutions for the seller or for the investor.The situation does not unfold when the homeowner receives a solicitation, as the article mentions...it begins when they are late paying their obligation to their lender.There is a timeline to a bank beginning foreclosure.

VRBO read the messages between us about her viewing the house and sent me the email below:  This email is regarding Case Number: XXXXXXXXXXDear XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX,We have become aware that you may be directing travellers to either contact, book, or pay offsite in your inquiry’s conversations.

STuart as I think through this and folks I know in our business.

You pay a down payment, closing etc.

There may or may not be a pre-pay penalty, obviously I would negotiate for no pre-pay.- at year 7, can i extend balloon or notNo, unless it's in the contract or the seller agrees to it. 

Yea give her the advance notice, maybe she pays and you save on the eviction fees.

If they had moved out without paying, what would you be doing?

.- Cities like Toronto will levy another tax (Vacant Home tax) equivalent to 1% of the current assessed value of the property if the property is not occupied (rented, owner-occupied, family occupied, all count as occupied)- Land Transfer Tax: while the Province of Ontario charges anywhere between 0.5 - 2% of Land Transfer Tax when your transaction closes, you should expect to pay this amount twice if the property is in the City of Toronto .
