Two of my best tenants moved out of a house in a great neighborhood last month.

Write it up as a personal letter.When you do all that, then contact a local RE Agent to give you a list of all the houses in that neighborhood that have sold in the last 5 years with all cash.

Thankfully, I did well enough with my own design work my bankers was impressed with enough confidence to continue funding me, and I also rejected the notion I was going to willy-nilly my way into a business that will last.

Have good credit (825) last it was checked, and have about 40k equity in my home.

I have always believed that your first no should never be the last stop.

Double the congratulations from Ron, and a preemptive welcome to Asheville.I was in a similar situation last year and just asked the tenants what they thought- they said I could give them a free month's rent and that would be worth the hassle for them finding a new place and moving.

Last week we signed the purchase agreement for what will be our 25th unit over 4 1/2 years.  

Last year was really busy but this year has been really quiet with a drop off in tenants looking for office/retail space.

I've bid on anger things at the last two master commissioners sales but haven't been able to walk away with a win.

But in the mean time over the last 5 months you have been advertising for LO Buyers and letting them know that the property won't be available until the current tenant is out.
