@Charles Cooper I use "JSJ property management" for most of my Champaign area properties now.

If the tenant isn't cooperating or communicating, you would have to enter the apartment to determine if they have moved out.

One tenant is being very understanding and cooperative.

He lives in Texas and has mastered lease option assignments in TX, not easy in TX.In 2002 he and I became friends, and I trained him on the basics of cooperative assignments, where you enter into a lease and an option with the seller as a principal, not as an agent but a principal.You then assign the deal for a fee of generally 3 to 5%.In the example above for $100Kthey owe $95,000If they listed for a $100K, sellers would have to pay the cost to sell, which include the following:- commissions 3 to 6%- closing costs 2%- sellers concessions 3 to 6%- vacancy costs we have to pay the PITI while is being sold, let's say $1000×4 months, and this includes electric , heat, watering lawns, garbge, and so forth- spruce up costs, such as painting a wall or replacing a carpet, or fixing a fence.Many sellers don't have a lot of cash in the bank, and they don't want to get more debt on a credit card fix up their house and they can sell it.So this particular seller would probably pay 10% to 15% of the value of the property to sell with an agent quickly.

This seller isn't cooperating.

How to ensure so that if the land is sold, the farmer will cooperate by keeping his farm healthy and well kept, so that I or my children can get a good price for selling the land?

By you paying anything outside of what is documented on the HUD Statement, I believe would be considered illegal , not sure if it's labeled as "Fraud" .In some short sales, the Bank pays the seller a "Relocation Fee" to the seller to cooperate with the selling process and to vacate the property, turn over keys and sign documents stating such.

Of course, only if KD cooperates.

@Cedrick Cooper, about a month into listening to the BP podcast I was hooked.

Members of condominium management associations and tenant stockholders of cooperative housing associations are allowed to claim a proportionate share of the total system expense towards the tax credit. 2.
