. - BP, continued thanks for the valuable and entertaining podcasts that have filled my long commute!

I thank you gentlemen for entertaining my novice questions.

Regardless, the tenant has to post the unpaid rent amount with a court house (escrow account) before the judge entertains any complaints about withholding rent.

The Walton family (Wal-Mart) just invested millions of dollars on a few large projects in our downtown (hotel, apartments, theater/entertainment center) because they see the long term viability.  

After entertaining multiple aspects of real estate investing, my wife and I will be pursuing our first buy and hold property by the end of the year.  

This means if you give notice on the March 28th, or even March 5th, they will have till the end of April to vacate the property before they are unlawfully staying as an holdover.This is simply because the lease ("contract") has terminated, thus they are without a contract, so the laws of the land ("Land Lord Tenant Act") are now in affect.In the event of a court case, the judge may enforce some of the speciality items in the lease (lawn care, legal fees, no modifying the property, HOA rules, etc), but everything else will fall under the month-to-month laws.This all said, tenants normally read the lease at face value vs knowing the law, so if they see the 60 day notice, or the lease says they have to sacrifice two chickens and a goat to terminate the lease, they will likely just do whatever the lease says, thus why the courts treat business as educated and give some lead-way to tenants in most cases.I'm not an attorney, and my posts are for entertainment only.

Their is no such thing as an email list for home sellers that entertain wholesalers.

For us, it saved us several  thousand and we are going to market it as additional outside entertaining area. 

The few banks that I've spoken with that will even entertain the topic, basically say that you and your wife should have separate finances to make this happen.  

Sure I'd entertain an offer to sell at $160K in 1 year.
