I'm trying to find a strategy that satisfies the below requirementsMotivates potential tenants to apply and lease quickly (a weak pressure sale tactic?) 

Has anybody ever used this tactic? 

I can completely understand if someone was investing in a hot market and using it as a tactic to lock the property up quickly. 

@Brian GarrettHave you ever completed a deal using either of those tactics?

I could use some guidance here.I'm looking at a scenario and I'm new, so any ideas or inputs would  be great.I know a guy ready to give his house over to the bank because he is going broke.I'd like to try and buy his house for a great deal and make it a rental and I'm trying to think of the best technique. since Interest rates are high right now, I dont wanna open a new loan and get locked in at a high interest rate on a potentially long loan. so I was thinking about that promissory note idea. where I promise him to pay his loan payment and it stays in his name, assuming he has a better interest rate than what I could get. any ideas on that tactic?

If that’s not appealing or not possible switch up your tactics for finding properties and come back to probate sales at a later time.

That got me thinking of a tactic I used to use as a newer rehabber of stocking my rehabbed homes with used appliances purchased on Facebook marketplace.

(That's where the 'consultantancy' and/ or additional marketing and advertising angles, other tactics, buyer pre- screening, etc. can come in very handy... and routinely 2- 3x your LO, ROI. :-)

This is totally unethical and bait and switch tactic. 

Is this a frequently used tactic?
