But small brokerages can often be your best bet because they might be hungrier for leads..

So when I listed both units on Craigslist I had somewhere between 30 to 40 showings and through the tenant screening company I used to perform the background check, the employment history, the credit check and so on, I was able to hand pick based on the evidence before me who I'd choose to inhabit the units.  

An option cannot be contingent on performance of the buyer/optionee. :)  

I bet you won't let it get to the 25th of the month before you serve the notice next time. :)First thing you need to do is make sure your notice has the required information in it (i.e. name, address, and phone # of person to pay; exact amount of rent that is due; do not list any late fees in the notice; where and how payment is to be made; etc). 

I have been actively acquiring Notes for passive cash flow since that time.I like the the passive nature, the safety and the cash flow that I receive from Performing Mortgage Notes.I upgraded to BP Pro & upgraded my profile.

Greetings all,I was wondering if anyone familiar with the Pittsburgh market has performed a cash out refinance of a multi-family, and if so, can you provide me a recommendation on a local bank?

 $20K seems to slim from an equity standpoint, especially if you're betting on appreciation.  

You can hedge your bets on the job by asking for a "not to exceed" bid.  

If someone then wants a showing I will say, "great, we will be performing a background check and need a $35 per person 18+ years old applying to live in the home - after we have processed this successfully I will gladly show you the property in person."
