If someones there, they ask if they're aware its going to be sold and if they have any questions or want to know how it works.

Be aware that the time the property has been in contract has been in the seller's favor in this appreciating market in So Cal.

I am not sure if you are aware, and I might be shooting myself in the foot here, but while I do try to be generous with my contributions on BP, I actually do have a course that I sell on my site (CFFU - most folks here know this), and I do offer consulting services.My time is at a premium.  

Here are some items I'm aware of for steps between the closing and getting a renter

If they need more time, you could amend the contact to extend your closing date and the date on which the tenant must have vacated the premises.I would make sure your lender is aware of the situation.  

I don't know if you are aware, but there is a meetup on Saturday morning where several of us local BP'ers are going to get together.

For me, Ive made a few connections, but now that I am aware of it, Ill considering going as well.

If you are ever down here or want to swap notes vie email/phone, I'm open to it.Not sure if you are aware, but there is an REI group in your area called DIG that I think I'll be attending soon.

According to the investor just back taxes/city fees which I was aware of from research.Deven - I am not certain yet that they are lol.. no it was a financial decision.

In ever state that I'm aware of a license is either active, inactive, or expired.To use it to collect referral fees it has to be active which means it needs to be with a broker.
