@Lori Williams It's a very common thing in the industry to show an upcoming property.

@William Shea, do yourself a favor and follow the lease agreement firmly. 

@Dan Heuschele @Will Barnard @Lori Williams All great points, I agree that if I do cash for keys I should wait until I have the keys in my hand and he is moving out to pay him.

@Forrest Williams I just cold call in my market of Columbus, Ohio.

Quote from @William Costello: @Buck Dabill is it zoned or can be multifamily?

Hey @Devin Williams, welcome to the BP community!

Quote from @Lori Williams: I've told the renters interested in the R2O that there are 2 separate contracts.

I found it through my realtor Marco Messina at Keller Williams Philadelphia.

Quote from @Lori Williams: The money should never be paid until they are physically out of the building - even if that's just sitting in a loaded moving truck in the driveway - that way they can't get back in.If they did half of what you asked, you pay them half the money.So if cleaning was one thing and moving out was the other, I would give them half the 500.00I have never had a tenant leave the property clean, even though I always tell them that it was move in clean when they got there (or in once case I paid them to clean after they moved in bc they moved in the day after the others left), and it needs to be move in clean when they leave.

William,I'm a Commercial General Contractor in Atlanta, I'm looking to move away from high rises and into my own investment properties that I can renovate.
