We had an office here that tried that, claimed they weren't a PM, just matching renters to landlords.......well, they got hammered!

Foreclosures will match pre-recession levels10.

It was a win-win all the way around.I just got a really good deal from a tenant who didn't want to move a leather couch, matching leather chair, flat screen type television stand, microwave, vacuum cleaner, 2 window air conditioners, kitchen table with 4 chairs, coffee table, and end table... all for $200 cash + $100 towards extra cleaning services to get his apartment back in shape.

I'm like tell 5 year old to whatever they do do not play with the matches that were "accidentally" left out.  

My agent gave me lists of homes that match my price range, and my area to work in.

I don't match well with my rating system to most of the posts here but it is my tool for my use and I am successful with it. 

I was hoping they might know offhand a few listings matching the criteria but it looks like its not that easy.

Always double check the written leases to make sure the amounts match up to what the seller is claiming.Also, check the rental comps to make sure the area can sustain the current rents.

It used to be $1,000 before, but in some deals I have under contract the minimum I have had to put down has gone up to 5% and in couple of cases it is 10%.In couple of FM REOs, the bank accepted all our terms except wanted 10% EMD.As for POF, in most cases sellers do want to make sure the name on the bank letter matches the buyers name on contract.
