In that case, I would think the seller or seller's agent would need to be the one to facilitate access to the house to allow your due diligence (ie: estimating rehab). 

Did you set up a bank account that the tenant has access to?

Also don't accept payment. if you have auto pay or online pay - close it so they can not make a payment. 

Online?

I have access to theMLS so I do not need to be forwarded listings from there, but we are looking for a 15,000 square foot lot (minimum) zoned commercial in Los Angeles for a client to expand his business on.

But what if brokers were incentivized to put their best deals online?

Getting a 70% of the appraised value is not that bad, considering that I will put the two properties on refi, that will likely give a good deposit for a single family home or perhaps a duplex.Do you know any local bank in Ohio which I could go online and send an email?

Do you provide free wifi and have the tenants pay over a online website?

If its an auction dot com on line auction and not a trustee sale then no you have to close then sell. cant assign contracts with those folks. this specifically keeps the wholesalers at bey and allows investors a chance to go direct with out those pesky daisy chain deals.Most cant do a 15 day close either.. unless they are pro's IE have the cash in the bank and know how to do their own title searchs or have a premier account with thier title company that will fast track and do a clsoing in 3 days or so..

Real estate agents have access to MLS.
