The fact they are complaining online might be an indication the property manager dealt with them properly so be sure to ask the manager for their side of the story.I hope this basic guide helps.

In today's hot real estate market where things are typically selling without being on the market for very long, why would a seller consider a land contract? 

Anyone using any apps or sites to identify "hot" zipcodes for bandit sign placement?

That’s some hot market you got there

I’m in this pickle as we speak (commitment up in July 2020)....I know of A couple guys who have gone Guard and are doing real estate on the side.

I would really consider holding on though because the Grove is a very HOT and sought after area and rents are very high there. 

My plan is to keep my current job as an Industrial mechanic, and invest on the side while still working my full time job.

I suspect the lot is a thorn in their side, hence their attaching it to a property with such juicy returns.
