Give the legal notice required by your state law to go in and inspect--see what condition the unit is in & start advertising and showing it immediately.

Hey Will, notice that Roy said he bought at least A DOZEN rental properties and is having problems with one of them.

If you are referring to FHA loans (Freddie, Fannie, etc.) then yes, the limit has been lowered to 4 properties.

Month-to-month doesn't translate into moving out with not notice.

I would say they are on an assumed month to month tenancyif they are more than one month late in my county that counts as constructive notice and you can just go ahead and file a detainer warrant for evictioni'm sure the laws are different in commiefornia

I'll second the Monday being interesting, the Fannie & Freddie derivatives are being settled that day in an auction-esque manner-could be some people needing to come up with some large cash quick.

Hi Tami,Yes, I noticed you were in Mason City.

You might also check with real estate attorneys, as they usually receive public notices as a matter of doing business.

But in the mean time until I start noticing more buyers I will be doing Tax Sales and just market my business for buyers...

You should be careful going into a rental without legal notice to the tenant--even with abandonment-real or suspected-you have to post notice (in our state )--and its not really an emergency-fire, flood, etc. so you could go in w/o notice( usually)--send a certified letter-include the lease renewal- and see if you get a response.
