You should make it a provision of the Contract that the rental unit(s) be delivered vacant.

OK, let me just say I am not trying to start a debate about bandit signs, and many of you may say the biggest thing WRONG with them is that in most areas they violate local laws/ordinances Point well taken.But this is WHY those local ordinances exist >>> "investors" fresh out of the latest guru academy put these signs out with NO INTENTION of EVER picking them back up.

After renting hundreds of weeks in my condos in Cancun and selling thousands of my Book (including Kindle), i received my FIRST formal complaint because the Book wasn't delivered!

It's done by groups, with a loss mitigation clerk at the front, that for the most part take the calls and relay information which they for the most part only deliver if you persistantly call and update.

I don't really want to load up the contract w/ clauses, just enough to protect me in case I really underestimated the rehab cost.Here is the timeline I'm thinking:1)Submit offer2)Seller accepts3)Offer goes to bank.4)Bank Accepts, deliver Earnest Money within 48hrs, start 5 day inspection period.5) Confirm my rehab cost w/ quotes.

I try to deliver the late rent letter in person, so I can have an eye to eye with the tenant and will use my scoping skills to have a quick look at the place.

In a month I think I will have another vacancy is it worth it to email the people who I just turned away when the vacancy is confirmed or do you start fresh.

I'd also take a fresh look at your market and see which how other markets compare when you start looking to buy property.

Does anyone have any thoughts about this for someone who daily delivers flyers and finds distressed properties all the time?

Lying because you're afraid of your tenant is not a good enough reason.With that being said, I sure enjoy having multiyear tenants who think I'm a breath of fresh air to deal with after having their previous landlords lie to them on a regular basis.
