I would focus on the completion date and get assurances via email that he is on track. 

Not that it would be the most ideal thing for most people, but if you're idea of paradise is a house overlooking a lake on farm within an hour of a major city, those are in ample supply all over the country for a fraction of California prices.I find that Denver is one of the nicest places I've been. 

I am have done direct mail with about 5000 letters going out every other month, IP targeting, targeted email, Facebook ads, etc.    

The first thing I did when I settled on San Antonio was jump on the SAREIA email list.

But it sounds like you have decent tenants, so before giving them that notice I’d explain your situation (needing to sell, nothing to do with them, you liked the, etc.) preferably: in person, on the phone, or email.

Amazon could feed themselves with a steady supply of loans by buying the seller's home through an affiliate so as to capture their mortgage on the buy side.

I ignore emails from about half of the wholesalers that send me deals because I know that in the current market they are pricing the properties way too high.Don't get ignored, do the math. 

I will be happy to speak with you personally if you give me a call, pm or email:) 

You can Email me or contact me through this site because I am on it just about everyday. 

Send me your email address or number and we can talk about the market and what’s going on!
