I would just put them up and leave them up and see what happens.

What happens if these tenants leave?

Many of the homes in my market are selling for 20-25% of their previous highs, leaving over leveraged investors out to dry.

The explosion would leave nothing but floating pieces.

Not to mention, they will leave their cigarette butts, lunch, drinks thrown through out a house.

If you assume that marketing - of which locating motivated sellers is a critical part - takes 20%-25% of your time, you can easily see how little time that leaves for the other activities you need to be doing on an on-going basis to reach your goals.By having a bird dog or bird dogs doing these things for you it allows you to better utilize the time resources you have at your disposal.

Here's how I see this deal:Gross rents: $2,500Operating Expenses: $1,200NOI: $1,200Less $300 per month desired cash flow ($100 per unit per month)That leaves $900 for the mortgage payment.

. $12,000 profit- $4,420 fee would still leave me a little profit.

Say the tenat/second buyer leaves and trashes the place are you at all liable?

With both these companies he had to leave quickly to avoid issues such ad you have listed here.
