I did a very basic highly level look at Texas and Florida, and while they did turn up properties.

Here are some basics on the property.SFR RentalLong term (3yr) tenant pays $1350/mo + all utilities (tenant is local school superintendent)Owner possibly refinanced at $100k in 2003.26 acres2 /11 1/4 story capeWaterfrontDetached 1 1/2 story garageTown Assessed Value: $122,300Actual resale value: potentially around $150k Deeded access I have put in 10% management, 8% vacancy, and about 6% others (capex, maint, etc.)So here is what I would like to send his way for a seller financed offer with no money down: Seller financed at 5% (30 yr amortization) with a 5 year balloon payoff payment Balance payoff payment at 5 years (~$91,829) Early payoff <24 mos = 10 points ($10000)Early payoff >=24 mos <36 mos = 8 points ($8000)Early payoff >=36 mos <48 mos = 4 points ($4000)Early payoff >=48 mos <60 mos = 2 points ($2000)Option for buyer to extend payoff date up to 15 years (within 6 months of payoff date, at a cost of 2 points.)Buyer to pay all title, recording, transfer fees etc.Total Interest Paid (If paid in full at five year mark):$24,038Total Sales Price with interest (If paid in full at five year mark) : $124,038Keeping in mind that we make money on the purchase, I would like to offer a fairly low purchase price that would help me get my foot in the door, and continue to give him monthly cashflow and delayed capital gains.  

Basically I eliminate all the issues of the old properties.

Going on almost a year without even a court date.

The fact they are complaining online might be an indication the property manager dealt with them properly so be sure to ask the manager for their side of the story.I hope this basic guide helps.

(I would not take a verbal “extension” to court to begin with, but especially with that clause in the written contract.)IMO (if your written contract supports the above,) you may reasonably be able to claim up to a month (unless you get a replacement tenant sooner than that - than the actual prorated loss) in court.

He filed for bankruptcy right before appearing in the eviction court and the eviction case is on an automatic stay.

Many times it is easy to lose sight of this very basic concept, and as a result, mean great real estate deals are lost.

I'm looking at condos in the Buckhead, Midtown, Piedmont Heights, O4W, Atlantic Station, and Decatur areas (among others in the north/eastern part of the city - basically everywhere north of I-20 and east of I-75) and I'd love to hear everyone's input who may be more familiar with the city than I am, what are some (if any) streets/areas in those neighborhoods that are unsafe or I should avoid for other reasons?

I've been able to deduce rent rates for inline stores, kiosks, and food courts within malls.Can anyone help with anchor tenant rates in Southern California malls?
