I'm catching those "for sale" signs more often and imagining what it'd be like to own those properties.

In fact, in higher priced markets, I would imagine there are plenty of rehabbers who specialize in this strategy.

Right now your priority is enforcing your existing lease as it is written and jumping on this situation with her.It's great you've sent her something certified, but I would be calling and emailing her as well, letting her know of her violation.

I would imagine that your lending products are in high demand.

I believe you'll have to sign up somehow to report information to them and I'd imagine there is some sort of landlord screening process and requirements to make sure that random people don't just sign up and send them faulty data on tenants.http://www.experian.com/rentbureau/renter-credit.html

Sorry for the long introductory e-mail, but I have a pressing concern.I'm located in the Bronx in New York.

I have numerous emails from the tenant telling me she will pay me or how she doesn't have the money.

I imagine there are many different ideas.

Careful with the fmap.org link above, I signed up and got flooded with calls, txts, and emails from brokers within 2 minutes.

My partner says at this point we should run the comps, get an estimate, and email the seller an intent to buy, and see if he accepts.
