Basically, try to streamline without calls first!

There is a lot of insecurity there, trusting that you didn't just give notice where you are living, without ending up without somewhere to live, and putting all your stuff into a moving van, and then paying movers to stand around outside while your new property manager goes over every single paragraph in your new lease and addendum, ad infinitum. 

I guess when the tax assessed value is about $1 million each and I buy for $60-90k each, I guess the reporters consider it newsworthy as they would hunt me down and then interview me... as an investor, I don't need the publicity, but I don't avoid it as I plan to buy more large surplus properties that have potential for huge gains, so now all the city/town movers and shakers know who I am and know I'm a real cash buyer...

I have stuff in my garage And otherwise need a clear path so my movers can load the truck. 

A very small percentage of these folks actually reestablish contact and proceed with the application.Pros: (1) ABC "Always Be Closing" - ask for the "sale" at the closing on someone who seems solid; "A" tenants don't have a chance to get placed by someone else in the meantime or flake out when it comes to meet for the receipt of the deposit to hold(2) Streamlines the process IF the applicants check out (see below)Cons: (1) sketchy people have dressed nice and behaved long enough for me to accept their deposit (and then I am aghast when I start doing my screening) which finds me awkwardly returning the deposit on someone who was quite as good in reality as they claimed on paper(2) no time to do proper due diligence before accepting moneyI know some landlords take several apps (either all at one showing or in series over several showings within a day or two, then contact their "best choice" to offer the unit to them.My concern is there is a delicate dance that needs to be executed with great applicants, as they are looking for a place for the next month and can't sit idly waiting for a landlord to call them after reviewing their application.  

Streamline FHA refinance the one currently in an FHA mortgage.

I'm trying to be fair to the guy, but also want to streamline my business here.

A free month's rent and the cost of hiring movers, maybe?

And even though the landlord wanted to keep most of the money for repairs, they couldn't as it is not considered as security deposit.By the way, these people stay in the house till I show up with the sheriff and 2 other movers, as required by law.

She later got a job in Walnut Creek, and FHA allowed her to keep the FHA financing on the Salinas house and turn it into a rental (and let her refinance it with the FHA streamline refi), then buy another FHA financed house in Oakland - because it would be too far for her to commute from Salinas to Oakland.So, that's one example where you can have more than one FHA loan at the same time, with their permission to keep one as a rental.
