Back when I was double closing or assigning, my contract with the seller allowed me to put a sign on the property.

It would be best to consult with a real estate attorney just to make sure.With regard to the pet deposit, my opinion is that it would be above and beyond the security deposit - but again you should double check with a real estate attorney just to make sure.

It's the dog chasing it's tail with never ending conclusions.The Koch brothers should be kissing BO, thier net worth has almost doubled in the past 4 years along with record corporate profits during this time of woe for all the little people. :) Things are real bad......for most but not for some!

My tenant has 2 kids and a grandchild in a three bedroom house.

A lot will depend on the location and thus your market. 7 bedrooms in an upscale neighborhood, particularly if it has at least 3-4 bedrooms is money in the bank, sold or rented.

Use the FSBO sign that Rich mentions during rehab and then put on the MLS once rehab is done...double your chances to sell...

IE. 2 or 3 bedroom unit with a usable basement maybe, garage, yard etc...

But with double closings and other wholesale strategies, I would think there would still be some opportunities.That would be the market I would target if the houses are as under water as that guy suggested.

Bedrooms, baths, etc.?
