Put them up anytime and use a Google Voice number on them or a burner number.

Let me back up and tell the full story.A couple months ago we decided to sell our condo and buy a single family home that we can move to, an upgrade if you will.

We are hoping things pick back up now that prime buying season has passed.

IN   WA OR CA NV and I THINK AZ  there is no deficiency judgment allowed on a purchase money first loan for owner occ.. so in those states its business as usualI think the more pressing issue is values have come back up and less people are underwater than were before.I understand Texas can be a mother when it comes to chasing deficiancies and something that most folks don't know or understand.

I have the name and number for a contractor and handy man, but am looking for backups.

And even if you do talk to the tenants, they might not tell you everything.If the numbers work for you for this property, I would have backup plans to have the tenants leave if the units are not taken care of, or if you feel uncomfortable with them.

I had a bit of down time in my marketing for specific reasons but have ramped it back up.  

Use a burner number, Google Voice, or Sideline number so it can't be traced back to you.

Prices never came down that much and have crept back up again.

It was accepted as a back-up offer.
