You still can but just keep in mind it's easier if you wait for a recession.I'm a big fan of both methods you mentioned.

As long as your rents are good and you're getting the types of properties and tenants you want, this simplifies THINKING about it such that you don't need some crazy calculator and excel sheet to do the analysis on the purchase side.My view is that is much better time and thought energy spent on the actual construction as there are a thousand ways to control costs and bring value in a rehab.

Or did they wait to receive a quote and countered that letter? 

But that will be thousands, so your property might not be able to afford it.

If the numbers don't work, you are better off walking away and waiting for the right deal.

Some require 60 day notice, others 30 day notice, and in the event they are on a long term lease you will need to wait that out.Best of luck!

I have spent enough time waiting and not enough time doing.

It's a grocery store and walmarts not far so idk how it stay in business.I'm really leaning on continuing to save money and wait 

Depositing it at a local bank seems the path of least resistance - then you’re not waiting for a check and going to the bank/sucking up your time.

However, when I was awakened at 2:35am, this had been building for over a year of being awakened so many times or having to wait for them to stop their festivities in the front yard and to quiet down - I snapped.
