Hi @Alexandra Arnsberger,The scary thing is that they can up and leave in the middle of the lease, tell you nothing and you have no way of getting any lost money.

Do buyers always offer more than the mortgaged amount so sellers are able to leave with cash in their pocket? 

They have told us that they do not want to leave and I'm concerned that they will holdover. 

I doubt boarding it up and leaving it there would qualify.3) Without knowing any of the numbers, or the market you're in beyond the war-zone comment I'd say personally I don't want to be in war-zones, so I'd take the money and move on to the next project.In our flipping business, velocity of capital critical.

Fingers crossed she leaves.

But this only leaves me a couple hours to rush around and get a few things done.

You leave a trail of cash flowing properties with equity behind you, and as your equity builds, you use it to start acquiring properties with "cash."

Hello BPers,Please advise how to how to appeal property tax increase in Flordia while leaving out of a state of Flordia?

If you leave it in the property the property itself will likely be generating nothing and not really be worth holding as a investment.If it will not cash flow with maximum leverage you would be farther ahead selling and investing in something that does.

It's actually not that hard to buy a house using 100% OP or bank money but there are always out of pocket expenses as you Americans call them that can't be avoided.For example if you find a good enough deal you might get a lender to give you most of the money and get the seller to leave s small amount in for 12 or 24 months.
