As a sign of good will, you might even pass the lead onto a couple of commercial realtors with a mention that you will be happy to accept any unwanted residential leads.

This took about three minutes to find-Wisconsin Statutes-Chapter 452(2) “Broker” means any person not excluded by sub. (3), whodoes any of the following:(a) For another person, and for commission, money, or otherthing of value, negotiates or offers or attempts to negotiate a sale,exchange, purchase, or rental of, or the granting or acceptance ofan option to sell, exchange, purchase, or rent, an interest or estatein real estate, a time share, or a business or its goodwill, inventory,or fixtures, whether or not the business includes real property.

Empathy is free and buys you all kinds of goodwill with your tenants.

So a foreclosure in their past doesn't usually give us pause during the approval process but we received an application yesterday and upon doing some quick checking we discovered that our applicant was able to prolong their foreclosure for nearly 8 years.My initial thought is that if they are this good at prolonging a foreclosure what will they be like (or how good will they be) at prolonging an eviction if we ever head down that road.Comments?

There are also a couple of Goodwill/Habitat for Humanity outlets nearby.So I'll do the roof, the floors, the counter, the painting, the fence, and if I have money left for extras, maybe I'll put tumbled travertine on the fireplace surround.I guess I know the fireplace is the least of my worries, but sometimes it's comforting to focus on something you can control!

However...I will say this again, a repaired foundation, with an engineer's report stating the foundation is good, will not lead to problems selling the house. 

If so, then get them an ice maker that works - that will show goodwill and even if they do move out you'll have that for the next resident. 

Is the location good? Will

& if you don't sure something else good will come your way.

Thanks for the holiday goodwill.
