(There are some, but not alot here).Additionally to what Will said, it was my understanding that banks insisted that short sales go on the MLS, so that they get broader exposure.

If someone moves on the 15th, and lease is 1st to end of the month, I still insist on a full months rent at move in.

I was providing education in the event that you ran across someone that insisted they are legal in their actions.

If you are insisting on a property in cordova, there are many homes in the 140k range that could yield your desired return.

If they insist on staying until the end of the lease, consider offering them an incentive or just renovate the other three units first and then do that one last.

I insist on seeing all the units.

I wonder if other RE attorneys would have insisted on some language to prevent this.

If you insist on making offers on the MLS, I would say go to a local REIA and meet with investor-friendly realtors.

I'm dealing with one now where they won't change the comps to reflect 3 houses that closed on the same block between the time the appraiser visited the house and the time they wrote the report, insisting that they can't use those since they closed after they visited the house (but before the wrote the report!).

If your phone is not ringing then your marketing is probably not working.I recently read a book about small apartments and it insisted that you do not need single family home experience first.
