I think the key to this one is you're finding people that just aren't motivated to sell.

The lawyer for the actual owner's title insurance company seemed to have the most pull, so filing a claim with them was the key to success for me.

(at one time NYC was a dangerous place to be and not highly sought after in the early 90's)You need to expand you horizons to less expensive areas if you hope to get cash flow from rental properties, or be a very patient person with lots of disposable income to park

I take it one step further I ask for keys to market property and put right to market property in contract under addendum.

We closed a dozen of these in less than 90 days last year, so it's certainly possible.The key is to find a bank/underwriter who will do the loans in under 90 days, and "encourage" your buyers to use that lender.

The keys are this Get cash reserves in place.

The key is getting a big enough down stroke when they move in to reduce the risk of them trashing the place.

Should I try to rerent the place out or do I have to leave it for a while since I did not get the keys back or a written notice?

Since this was turn key, the PM possibly put in the tenant just before we exchanged contracts.

People in general have a hard time being patient and tend to not have a long term outlook on most things.
