Last thing a judge wants it to be on the local news for kicking someone out of their own home, judges here run for election, they have to try and give everyone a fair shake.

My initial study showed fair appreciation and healthy rental proposition.

This only means one thing to me - I did not clearly communicate with the investor what the expectation of the property would be.

Example:Tenant 1 -Applied first Has fair creditNo background issuesSome history of late payment.Tenant 2 -Applied secondHas Great creditNo background issuesNo history of late payment.Am I obligated to showing the house first to one tenant over the other?

Place the tenant yourself if you have experience and know fair housing laws.

You should determine every single expense that the property will have and figure out what is fair market value is when underwriting every deal.

You’re leaving yourself wide open for a fair housing violation without set parameters. 

As long as your description is detailed, pictures are professional/clean, and your rental is priced fairly, you should begin to get lead calls!

@Carrie Nevins you are making the common mistake of failing to communicate with your tenant.This could be a very simple solution.

Buyer demand is high in our market so this is probably only realistic if your seller is fairly motivated to get rid of the property.
