It is a scoff law. if they don't sign it however, they are supposed to be subject to eviction, but the judges won't entertain a hearing on the matter, so it's still moot.My attorney told me, and I'm sure it probably only applies in Kansas, that you can remove the tenant for what we call a 14/30 letter.

Had not entertained that idea but will now.

@Dan Lukens , it is possible the bank told the agent they would not entertain offers below a certain threshold.I did this personally when I kept getting severly lowballed on a property I was trying to sell.

He is a very interesting and entertaining fellow.

If it was in great shape I myself would entertain <$150.

Don’t entertain excuses.

Terms on the noteInterest rate: 10%Payments: QuarterlyTerm: 12 monthsWe think we can earn more than 10% on an active investment (flipping), so we are entertaining the idea of selling it.

The point is that housing should be 1/3 of income because the other 2/3 of your income is needed for utilities, phone, transportation, food, clothing, entertainment and other expenses. 

Is there a way I can pursue these properties before they go to auction or try to contact the mortgage holder to see if they would entertain me taking over the payments?

Usually owners who are willing to entertain seller financing want to see that the buyer has a track record of owning (and successfully paying on) multiple properties, so they can feel reasonably assured they will get paid on their own (seller financing) mortgage.But, that said, there's no harm in asking a potential seller if they have a mortgage and if not, if they'd be willing to take payments over time instead of all at once (i.e., seller financing).
