phil, not sure if that listing still exists (since realtor.com is very, very often outdated and i dont want to check other sites to verify), but you are correct. there are houses that are either in clarensville school district, or dont have garages, or are too small, BUT all are under 50k.thanks for pointing it out.

I was able to offer 20k less than the original price and they took my offer because the property was outdated.

Could I put on the month to month lease that "desired move out date is: January 2013"?

Any place pulling a grand plus in rent to me seems it should look pretty decent, even if it's out dated the material and trim should fit well, carpet stretched and areas around stairs should fit well.

Great technique, but most of you obviously want a slick looking Robert Allen look alike to present you a bunch of worthless outdated c*** to feel you got your money's worth, so I wont bother you with the details.

Two weeks pass (almost end of September now) and she gets back to me to tell me that they could not assist her because she did not get the lease on time… Sooo, I tell her that I could extend the move out date to 10/15/2010 (her appointment was for 10/7/2010).

I saw that website too and I believe it is outdated, considering the offers we are already getting are twice that.

They were evicted from their "unit" the other tenant still has rights to be in his "unit" until the move out date.

I have found that usually, as soon as you take a n interest and start "helping" by sending them possibilities while reminding them of the move out date, they will magically find something. 

You will need some way to keep the housekeeper(s) up to date on all the check out dates.
