I think refreshing your Craigslist add is your best bet and maybe hold an open house this weekend.

I'm great with logic (IT here) but terrible in the physical world of mechanics/repair.

Agree 100%, but I would like to add this:I bet you asked a lot of the same questions when you were a Newbie.  

@Kyle Anderson,That's my thought, but I have been managing my properties for over 8 years and am at a different stage of my life willing more to bet on myself. a while back realtors wouldn't speak with me either, but I can tell you its because the market here has made such a change they feel that they know what can be done and what cant.

Tape the notices to the door right over the door lock take a photo that it's been posted, I put over the lock because they have to remove it to enter.. so I know they got the notice if I go back.The cost for you to file your own eviction action is of course less than a attorney would charge and if he has to go to court for you I bet his charges would be more.. 8.

I bet the old tenant is blowing smoke About talking to a lawyer  Stop stressing and either pay her or give her your lawyers name so her lawyer can send any communications to yor lawyer.

What are the red flags and other considerations I should be making.The agent told us that if the package was appraised, it would appraise around $500K so there is equity built into this deal.Ramsey I'm missing something here...are they selling the "notes" or the physical properties?

Your best bet is to check it out the day of closing.

I'm going STRAIGHT the county/state and make my grab and place my bets on them not redeeming.  

@Xavier Mike I bet that the 2 hrs labor those attorneys want to review that document is the only place you are going to get an answer that has any meaning.
