In fact, if a tenant even leaves, I can't fill it with another without breaking county laws, unless they sell it to me, which just isn't going to happen.

One of their pitches is to encourage sellers to write conforming notes, and season them, to get the highest value on the resale market.Their advice, which seemed like great advice to pass on:Have the buyer fill out a Fannie Mae form 1003.Check buyer's credit with the buyer's permission.Require minimum 620 credit score.Require buyer to undergo credit repair.

Is it so difficult to fill a vacancy in your market?

@Todd KrzeminskiIf I was in your position I would tell the tenant I will allow them to get out of the least 1 month early if you can fill the apt by that date.
