Government found Osama Bin Laden, they can find you.

Whatever that number is, ask for it in the form of non-refundable additional earnest money on the property in return for extending the contract.

As mentioned in another thread, the tenant is more likely to pay at the beginning of the lease and they'll likely still be living in the unit (and I have leverage to evict for non-payment) at the end.

Public records will show a deed where it was transferred as a result the foreclosure auction. 

Cash is king and as Rocky said, a large non refundable deposit might have helped.  

Any non sarcastic input is appreciated :)  attached is the Color I like.

@Joe Splitrock @Jay Hinrichs agreed our cycles have moved longer than expected on this one due to unfeathered intervention by central banks, we are moving back into the non- bank underwriting more than 40% of new mortgages  from 10% in 2009.

I currently work at Nellis AFB but my goal is to get out of government and spend the rest of my years working for myself.

That's an example but something in the middle ground that works for both of you.I'm a bit non-plussed with some of the large multi-family syndicators who like to talk about how they can force rents up for lower income people and in almost the same breath talk about how they help the same people with their charity...I think, like everything else there is a productive middle-ground where you can earn good returns and not force people into bad situations.

In these scenarios, I typically call the tenant and set up a meeting, and then in a very non-threatening way, just ask them what their current plans are as far as if they're hoping to renew at this point, or if they're looking to move soon.
