They are technically responsible for our tenant breaking her lease by approving her for low income housing; effectively "stealing" our tenant.

This is easy money, but has the negative effect that it's raising the appraised values of distressed properties, making listed deals harder to get at reasonable prices.

The only way in which that work effects the contract is possibly the completion date.

Meaning That The Foreclosure Doesn't Effect Their Contract To Live There.

I see no bearing or effect or how it creates equitable interest as it applies to title.

IF they are late because of financial hardship and have been a great tenant, we won't charge that late fee because it would cause the "snowball" effect and they may never recover.

Just do not let ANY PART of last months rent cross over onto the next creating a snowball effect from which the tenant can't recover.File the papers to let them know you are serious and rent has to be above all other bills.

Only testing will tell you which is most effective.

Where I am escrow will not release EM until both the buyer and seller agree to whom it shall be paid and sign docs to that effect.  

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what data/research (local and/or national) they have used in their presentations that has been most effective in terms of strengthening your position for the benefits of multifamily investing as opposed to residential and/or putting their money into CDs, bonds, stocks.I'm not looking for hard numbers - just what research has been most convincing.Thanks for your time.Kevin
