You cannot ethically, (legally too depending on your state) "hide" the fact that late fees are accruing then take it in one lump sum at the end of the lease.

We think that it was hiding behind the HVAC piping in the basement while we were there for some reason.

If a company has nothing to hide, why not connect you with people that have seen bumps in the road? 

I know where that PM is hiding but I can't tell in public LOL.Btw James and Mike, I really confused by this "the appreciation of the suites is based on occupancy rates in the area".How could it be possible ?

Sounds like a bit of work and expense (membership interest purchase and sale agreement plus future fees to the corporations division) to hide what is likely a modest assignment fee on the buyer's side of the settlement statement. 

This is what is going through my head if someone tells me I can win a Porsche by buying an investment property (not meant to be directed towards you)  What is he hiding with the house that he feels he needs to distract me with a Porsche?  

they are colder,  moldier,  sink,  crack flooring,  and nowhere to hide the Laundry and water heater. 

Wouldn't it be better to take an educational approach to working with your clients rather than hiding things from them?

It simply puts the world on notice of the sale.The sale is valid the moment the deed is executed.However, the seller is not trespassing...he is a hold over over just like a tenant.I'd show up with a locksmith though, and see how it goes if the police get called, if it's that important.His bank should have the incoming wire though, even if it won't "clear" until Monday.Also, title co.s don't typically courier over the deed to be recorded right away, they mail it in.

Dehumidifier install--I'll bet they really like that.So even if they are a put off by the timing they will be more comfortable.If it were mine and and only 1 rental, or only 1 or 2, the "Rental Experience" I want to offer in this instance would be to try to find a convenient time that works for both.No need to play Drill Sargent and make them feel their privacy has been violated in a SFH as long as the option to be flexible is there.But, if you have no other option, then you have no other option.I'd let them scurry to clean the place for the visit (dust, pick up old crushed beer cans, empty ash trays (and hide them), wash the dishes, make the beds, move secret pets somewhere, etc....Turns are expensive, why step  on a Hornets nest if you have another option.An apartment complex is different, those run on a schedule, home or not, dryer vents get cleaned, washer hoses replaced, filters replaced, leaks fixed, etc...Just my 2 cents.
