That's pretty incredible.

Taking this route not only makes it easier on you, but also shows your tenants that you care about them and are willing to be flexible, but not taken advantage of.So my advice to you is to communicate with them an figure out how you can assist them, maybe help find them a new place to rent or find out what would motivate them to move out sooner (cash for keys, etc.)Hopefully this helps and please feel free to reach out if you have any questions!

If you prefer the formal process of going through a buyer's agent that early in the shopping process, let the agent know up front your timeline and your motivation or lack thereof for buying on that timeline. 

Incredible deal with only $1000 invested. 

No one sending you a letter to buy your home has any other motivation but to make money for themselves everything else is just words and I am sure you understand that..

The key to either of them is to have targeted data of motivated or distressed sellers.

The rehab on this one was deeper than the average, but the potential was incredible!

I have no real expertise here though, although I have been a court mediator and am used to helping people lay out motivations, wants, needs.

The fact the commission isn't your primary motivation will help you stand out amongst even the most experienced agents. 

@Brian McCombs I know its been out there for a while but Crushing it in Apartments and Commercial Real Estate was incredible if you haven't read it.
