This shouldn't be an emotional decision.

Instead of being emotional I would like to let this sit for another two days.

For someone new, they are emotionally and financially trying experiences... you also know they have a vacancy so they are doubly vulnerable.You can also simply drive around looking for "For Rent" signs.

It's a numbers game there is no emotions when dealing with banks, it either penicls or it does'nt, Remember you make your money when you buy.

It is true that investors will likely follow the same formula regardless of where they find a deal, but the MLS exposes you to other "investors" who may not follow a strict formula and buy more on gut and emotion or they buy because they are trying to control their neighborhood/neighbors etc etc.

Reason being is you can divorce the emotional attachment and just evaluate the numbers and facts.

Ah, I hadn't thought of temporary funding at the double closing.

If you're just grasping for reasons to evict someone and you can't find a legitimate reason other than hoping they don't pay you on time, then you're likely not very well suited for the business on your own, and you should seriously look into hiring a property manager to handle things for you on a non-emotional basis.

I do have an agent who is helping me with the lot and my brother and I know we should sell the family home but for emotional reasons, we are hesitating.

Never heard a peep from the again and they paid up and left.Even if you had legitimate beefs with the landlord it's not very smart to throw an emotional jab just when they agreed to help you by accepting late rent.
