I wanted calls as if that unit doesn't work I may have something else, maybe they had not considered buying yet, we won't get there unless I get a chance to talk to them.Don't know if you do sales, but I had several from rental inquiries.

It won't be perfect and expect the renter will still be short and unable to pay the full rent, but a good tenant might be able to pay it or catch up.End of day you will probably lose some income, but gives the renter a chance to catch up and you time to find someone else to fill the space if need be.

I am about to start my first direct mail marketing campaign and was wondering how many leads I should start with to have a pretty good chance of closing at least one deal.?

If you don't want to hold a property for a long horizon, a SFR has a better chance of appreciating in a few years than a multi-family does.

Lenders generally ignore purchase contracts, yet they can establish a greater financial or equitable interest than an option.But, consider a custom built home that may have unusual features, perhaps extensive custom mill work or extensive landscaping features, purchase contracts can extend for two years or more.State law may restrict the term of a residential sale contract or extensions, such issues may be state specific.

Ease into it, build the relationship and you will have a better chance.

Will it hurt my chances of renting my space?

Sign in the yard, craigslist, letting other good tenants know we have a vacancy (chance for a referral fee) and local paper in small towns.

1 bedroom unit $600 (his lease is up in 6 months, I'll increase it to $700 because he's been here for 22 years) Chances are this tenant knows his rent is below market and, after 22 years he's not going anywhere unless you push.

When you get a chance you might want to update your profile so we can put a face to the name.
