@Chase HarmonYou should have been charging the developer for locking the project up.

You'll also be leaving liquidity available should a great deal come your way instead of being locked into just one project at a time.

Instead of actively seeking out buyers, focus on what I do here: establish credibility, showcase your knowledge and competence, and lock in high-quality deals where the numbers make sense.In this space, transparency and honesty are key.

I have bought multiple properties personally, where rents were very low to begin with, and were even locked in for over a year, but once that renewal came up, I was able to simply raise the rent and keep the current tenant.

Just haven't pulled the trigger yet on any one course. 

I had my suspicions about the neighbors across the alley and this situation definitely locked it in.

Go in and take possession, change the locks, but make sure you know the law first.

@Sol Bergren with the lifeproof you tap the butt joints down/together to lock them.

When rental prices go up quickly like they did in many areas the last few years, that doesn't mean that a tenant's income increases at the same rate in lock-step with inflation.

They seem complicated, lock up your money and have a lot of restrictions.
