I only stage an empty house when there are "odd" spaces that are hard to figure out.As an agent, I can look at a room and tell you that a Queen bed will fit in here, or that it'll be tight to squeeze a king into the room.

If this deadline is not extended again, landlords will be permitted to commence eviction actions, although it is unclear how long eviction lawsuits will take due to the backlog.

Now, the headline of % of rents, vs the huge number of ticky tack fees doesn't really matter in the end if the PM is good and runs a tight ship, keeping my property well maintained and occupied.

Since you're on a very tight timeline, let me give you some quick answers:Is it possible to get a 1031 set up in time?

Anyone who quit their W2 for REI had the ability to probably withstand and succeed from 2 real estate cycles to where their paper net worth is huge but their liquidity is still tight and getting tighter with increases in everything price wise.

Top question you need to get a feel for is what would you do with the capital if you sold (or if you did a cash-out refinance) - if you have a good investment idea / usage that exceeds owning the current rental - you should likely pull the trigger, if you don't have a good usage for that capital then probably sit tight

State the specific clauses they are violating and give them a deadline to comply (e.g., 14 days to rectify the situation or face eviction proceedings).

@Michael Plaks I’m based in Houston and I had contacted you for help back in June but I understand you are overbooked 🤗Good thing is that I haven’t signed yet, though the deadline is Oct 15 😅@Eamonn McElroy thanks for the note.

I would not bank on any appreciation for at least 3 years on a new build as well.Also, as several other posters alluded to, vacancy is very tightly correlated with rent ask these days. 

In Florida, if the landlord believes the tenant has abandoned the premises, the landlord can take possession, but I advise my clients to make sure the presumption of abandonment exists (pursuant to statute) and to follow the process of sending notice to the tenant stating that the landlord has determined that the tenant has abandoned (giving the reasons that form the basis of that determination) and that if the tenant doesn't respond within the deadline given (normally 1-3 days), the landlord will retake possession.
