Play it safe take rental comps into careful consideration to estimate your rents/timeframe.

I am going to play the devils advocate here It seems by making the property available for rent during the time they were under a paid up lease is a violation of their rights.

In order to save money, I end up playing the role of the general contractor and hire people by referrals from others and through Craig's List.

That might also come into play in this situation.But the deal itself...

The poster is asking about ways to sell without problems, how does his track record or need for a bridge loan come into play?

Outside of work, some of my hobbies include golfing, fishing, and playing the drums.

Whatever I end up doing in Real Estate, I want to be making a contribution and a difference in the lives of those I deal with.

Ideally I'd like to flip houses to fund my acquisition of rental properties, and use the rental income to get out of the "rat race".

I ended up making $2500 in commission on it.If I were not a realtor, I would have simply talked to him and found out what he was willing to pay, then wrote up a wholesale contract, then put the home under contract with HUD, then played the spread.This was my most recent deal, but I have picked up endless buyers for other homes while parked outside of HUD homes.

I really am not desiring to manage my properties myself, it's not in my long term game plan.The town is small and with city codes I don't know that they would accept a box as an address as well, and I tend to try to play by the rules and codes rather than break or bend them, but that is just me.
