I'm on tenantcloud and looking to move.

They move out ASAP and they are responsible to maintain utilities and keep paying rent until you find a new tenant.

When you buy with an assumable loan (all FHA, VA and USDA loans are assumable) you will buy with 2%-5% interest rate that will give you a much better chance to profit when it becomes a rental once you move to the next one! 

If you ask the manager to justify a fee and he starts hemming and hawing, move on or require them to remove the fee.

But again, it's a great tool to have in your toolbelt in case something pops up that's fantastic and you have to move on.

I would like to get your thoughts/advice on how to proceed so that I can use the collective wisdom to find the best path forward.

Choosing to rent to an unqualified tenant due to early move-in has resulted in nonpayment of rent and going through the eviction process which I will make a future post about. 

But in the grand scheme of things, if they WERE bad people and did that, or if someone else found the key and was checking the mail, that could certainly come back to bite me (say future tenants suspect someone is ruffling through their mail only to find prior tenants are coming back because they found the mail key when they moved or had it all along, etc). 

I’ve consulted attorneys and they tell me to “wait and see if he fixes the issues” One of his workers told me he was using my money to finish another job and was waiting on that payment to move forward with mine. 

Now if I remodel the kitchen, bathrooms, doors, windows and some other stuff I could probably rent it out for $650-$700, increasing my cash flow, specially when I move out.
