But I was not aware that there was a federal revision of the law as well.The reason I would get legal help at this point is because if for some reason your tenant doesn't leave after 90 days and needs to be evicted, you'll want your notice to have been perfectly in order.

The roi mentioned might be nice, but isn't likely long term, because the seller is leaving off a couple of key items - maintenance (beyond mowing the lawn), and vacancy.

Here's my short list of the primary reasons people leave their houses , during all economic cycles:1.

Even if they tell me on the fifth they're leaving at the end of the month, I'll let them go.

The most important part is knowing all that needs to be done, and not leaving out anything that eats profits ...which comes from experience.Good luck.

You can be up and running quick without leaving the house.

Would it be illegal for me to give the seller say $3,000 if he turns the key over to me, moves all of his stuff (including junk out) leaves the house clean, doesn't destroy it on his way out and moves out on time???

I'll try to specifically watch for signs of that.I can only hope that any financial problems will leave traces in their credit reports

I find myself just asking for the key code so i can view properties on my own time and leave them out of doing nothing more than opening a door for me.I have met very few realtors that are really good and there value comes form a vast knoweldge of a market or area as well as really good contacts or access to potential deals before they hit the market. these people are very hard to find.

I'll take $25-$50 non-refundable fee for checking credit, and leave it at that...Thoughts??
