It seems that not paying your rent can get things moving pretty quickly, but understand that there is also a robust defense system here in the county.  

I spent my birthday at a real estate conference to learn more about the biz.

The case can be assigned to the buyer and if the tenant did not move when agreed to, it could be enforced by the new owner.Then again, if the tenant gets wind that the property has sold he may bring a defense to court that the old owner can not maintain the eviction and the case could be thrown out leaving the new owner to start over.I am involved in one right now representing the seller.

I'm going to be in CA at the CEA conference Oct 19-22 will you be attending?

Salt Lake has some seasonal vacation demand for skiing, Sundance Film Festival, various conferences downtown.Has anyone had success in holding property for this purpose?

This way I can always stand my ground because I find that everyone feeling a the best defensive is a good offensive.

I do commercial only but learned some of these tips when I went to conference and talked with an older couple that had listed high end homes for 20 years.Good luck.     

I just attended a great not-related conference that really inspired my business goals.

I want to put something defensible at least, but the motivation to bring down the numbers is strong.They ask strange questions like property book value at beginning and end of year and fair market value at end of tax year.

Ali responds    "  thanks I will be OK"  it was a nice bit of feedback for her to look into it.. instead she takes the defense position and  its not HER I am worried about its her buyers who she is supposedly representing.. its why RE agents live and work in the community and why they preview homes before they show them.
