@Patrick Liska the furniture is part of the property and therefore covered under damages in the lease and because they are student rentals, parents are co-signing on our rentals so ultimately a responsible adult is held accountable. 

Association rep says I'd have to wait for it to go to Auction, but really would like to avoid the commissioner showing it for 3 weeks prior and having open house in the place where I live...So any thoughts on how to get in touch with the lender or lawyer maybe to see if they'd entertain an offer?

I can remember as a young adult all I wanted to accomplish in life was to have a job I loved that made me six figures a year.

Stony Brook will have plenty of people for apartments but there are plenty of towns in Nassau where students, young adults and even entire families are looking to rent in. 

Kevin Overstreet shoot me a PM with some numbers of what you're working with, definitely would entertain the right opportunity

I am the investor who has never entertained a rental.

At the very least it's very unethical to verbally accept and offer while still entertaining others.What would  you do in this situation?  

We will entertain JV deals and accept wholesale assignments where the numbers work and the deal is secure.With no presence in San Antonio, we obviously are not a fit for what you are looking for, but I wish you the best of luck.Continued success.

For the past 9 years I have owned a rental property in Philly in a neighborhood that college, graduate students, and young adults love.

If the pet rent is incorporated into the rent, they won't care nor will they know, but it will feel like they're being treated as responsible adults rather than as children.
