@Frank Sanchez@Brie SchmidtWe of course try to do all we can to avoid filing but in times when a tenant disappears and the place is clearly still occupied we need to.  

Most of callers will disappear but you can show to those with the means to save you time.

It's simply not worth a realtor's time to do the leg work only to have the investor disappear with the info. 

First they are much bigger, but we also don't need a spot for all openers as we don't keep them on file.I don't trust tenants leaving them at the property as it can create a lot of chaos when they are not found or they end up disappearing and the new tenant can't find them.

They come, make a few waves and then disappear.

Jump in as soon as you can knowing that you will make some bad decisions in the beginning and be prepared for the consequences of them so you do not end up as one of the many who just disappear.

As a trans Lender the scariest thing is the possible fake deal, where the buyer is fake and the title agent is fake and I wire money and it just disappears.

Depends on the contract, but this is why it's important to be upfront with the seller, unless you want to promise you'll buy and then disappear if you can't find a buyer - that makes everyone look bad because the next person that finds them and says "I want to buy your house!"

Not the "kiddie" ride.Not the ride that just goes up and down.Not the ride that does a loop and done.The type of ride I am speaking of is very fast paced, can be thrilling, many moving parts, has ups, downs, turns, can be gut wrenching, sometimes the ride goes backwards, sometimes the track ahead falls apart and you need to take or make a detour.Sometimes the ride comes to an abrupt end and you feel empty inside with a thought of "that's it - this ride sucked and the seller info was crap what was I thinking”.Or sometimes the last ride was a total buzz kill and you have thoughts of never wanting to do the ride again.

The cat bit the person cleaning the apartment, and disappeared by the time animal control came down.
