a thought....you might be able to work with an investor who will buy the properties from you in a controlled closing so you can time it with the acquisition of you new property....likely cost you some equity though

I would sub2 it to gain control ..keep the existing loan in place ,give her some walking money then once she’s out of the way ..I’d lease option the house to a good tenant and let the next person go over budget rehabbing your asset ! 

(insert throw pens, remote controls, your computer mouse at this forum post) If I haven't lost you from my absolute lack of common sense and lack of following my OWN Processes, read on as to why this was the nail in my coffin with this tenant.....A little back story- he called me up at the beginning of the month with "the story".

If it's concert listings and traffic reports (like it is with Millvale), then I assume it's a working-class or better neighborhood.OK, on to the property itself. 

I work in pest control so i would take care of that as well.

I've recently been utilizing Craigslist and social media to market our company to get some traffic on our phones.

Knowing what’s controllable and not is part of the process in buying.

That is completely separate Why  is tenant blaming landlord for an act of God and something out of the landlords control ?

It is further from the strip so traffic is at a bare minimum. 

I have plans to get a free and clear property under control in capitol hill with an 8 to 12 month purchase option (because they're not ready to move out and sell just yet) then put a rehab VA conventional loan to cover repairs and upgrades, then air B&Bit (other than the roof, the home has all original everything so I'm not quite sure how to estimate needed repairs) Now because of this rule I can't.
