That is a bit tricky, because we sometimes have only 24 hours for paint and minor repairs, but it can be done.Of course it helps if your property shows well, is marketed and presented professionally and your rents are in line with the other 3 places your candidates are viewing that weekend.

I am a newer investors in Tacoma, Wa and i am interested in approaching motivated sellers with a Master Lease Option but I have concerns about them backing out/not selling.I would want an attorney but even if all paperwork is order is there any gaurantee that I can buy it if I choose?
