Glad to finally have you on Bigger Pockets!

I have let tenants break lease before without going after them because I felt that their situation didn't leave them a choice, but I feel being taken advantage of in this situation.

Hello BP.I've been saving money and finally have some money to start investing.

I have been a part of deals like this.So, I respectfully disagree, If someone dies, any probate attorney would do anything possible to keep from giving the house to the bank, and the probate court would encourage that, If the estate admin filed BK in a probate, or otherwise had other family member pay a few dollars to save their own inheritance, there is no choice.

Finally, as an example, I was able to negotiate a 17k deliquent HOA balance down to 10k payable at closing for a short sale condo. so that was a 40% discount...

laurenbeth,I am glad I finally stated getting a response on this post.

I finally learned how to properly evict them and decided now I can put in good tenants that have been screened.What I found out is that good tenants don't want to rent there.

Finally, as the others have said, I would certainly recommend becoming an expert in your local laws.Good Luck,Mike

As well, will I have to show the final buyers my spread?

I typically charge a 6% commission on the final sales price.Commissions are not set in stone they are negotiable some as high as 10% for commercial and land.
