Offer to call their current landlord and “smooth things over” and be prepared to offer some small amount of compensation if they incurred any expenses preparing for the move. 

For me, this is an opportunity not worth pursuing.(1) Consolidated Balance Sheet Data, Pg. 76(2) Property operations, Pg. 81(3) ((48.7M *4)/12) / (3.53B * 0.68) (4) Our properties table, Pg. 93(5) Trustee Compensation, Pg. 114 (Class A: $15.76 to $17.23)http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1562401/000119312513479861/d633362ds11a.htm

If I did, my compensation on that transaction would be measured in pennies per hour.Perhaps a mind-set shift would be helpful. 

Quote from @John Cho: As a general rule of thumb, the property manager should be compensated for work performed.

We have also worked with wholesalers in our local market to find larger multifamily deals as well - even if you are primarily a residential wholesaler, we can still offer compensation for referrals to sellers of multifamily properties that you may encounter in your marketing efforts! 

I only wish that the next tenant some of these extortion victims get is the one with the clean credit record who has milked the "cash for keys" to death! 

3) What happens if one of you drinks & drives, killing someone and getting sued by the victim's family?

first law of the land is to not take legal advice from the peanut gallery on the BP  or internet.. this wholesaling stuff  is polarized with its legal its not legal.talk to the state. they are the ONLY ONES who can tell you what is legal and not.there is a reason that you have a real estate industry and in that industry a license is required.the simple definition is  " any act that brings two parties together and for the expectation of compensation a license to sell real estate is required.." this is verbatim in virtually every state.some states will enforce these laws others could care less even though they are on the books..

The senate is tied up with another BAH fight in this year's NDAA that would significantly change how service members are compensated for housing.
