State law dictates what charges and expenses can be added to the balance owing, usually it's the unpaid balance, interest to notice, holding costs such as insurance and taxes, trustee fees and cost of the sale. :)

Now as Mike said, if you grab several, you can basically own the whole block and dictate your rents.

No bidders (obviously).2) From what I have been able to gather, the 1st TD is a WaMu 2008 vintage portfolio asset, which logic would dictate would now be a Chase asset (although I've learned it's best not to use logic in such matters). 3) For the record, my client's offer of $3 Million as a short sale was rejected by the lender (despite this being the listing price, not that listing prices are relevant in any way but frustrating nonetheless because it had previously been approved by said lender at this price).

It's your pricing, reviews, listing copy, and just overall experience you are going to provide to your guests that will end up dictating where you end up in the search rankings for the long term so don't worry about timing this. 

There are laws dictating how much you can charge for a move-in fee.

@Patrick O.As others have said, state customs/law often dictate whether you must hire an attorney.

Three - don't buy a 4-plex :)PS: I cannot imagine buyig multifamily in a place that dictates how much I can raise rents.

@Cory GardnerYour contract form typically dictates how the E/M is to be handled and to whom it should be delivered?  

The big lenders like Wells Fargo, and Bank of America will approve a borrower for a remod and then the borrower is required to abide with whatever terms were dictated in the agreed to modification. 

I personally think if you are going to be a landlord and you want to dictate how ppl are going to live it's gonna be a tough road.
