I think my best bet is to just send it to collections as you suggested.

I'll bet she doesn't have the money to send the security deposits to you.

Perhaps my reference to unethical gurus wasn't made clear.Now I'll bet you put your jeans on just like I put my jeans on, :)Don't kill the messenger, if the message is not what you want to hear.We agree on more than you may think.Let's transpose this from "F" to "B flat", slow the tempo and lower the crescendo, even jazz has basic principles to abide by to be good, so do all other styles of music or any art and business is an art and a science.

I'd bet the crime rate is almost nonexistent.

I can send her a letter with the details, but like you said, maybe my best bet is to move on and wait another year until the listing expire.

I'm wondering if there are any particular pros/cons to doing this versus using a separate buyer's agent.Just curious for others' thoughts and experiences.

Do those things and I bet you'll sell within the average DOM or better.

I do agree that you need to make sure you can cover your bets' downsides.

If you have zero reserves, i'd be willing to bet you are either not collecting or you guys had some serious repairs come up in the past couple of years.

Sounds like being an owner occupant may be my best bet for my first purchase.
