As of this post I intend to have a conversation with each tenant following close of the transaction to introduce myself and get off on the right foot.

Investigate how GA handles squatters and then tell the tenant if they don't have a lease, they are squatters and you can legally do "x".Otherwise, move forward with the eviction process and perhaps consider the cash-for-keys advice others have given above.One last thing, amazing how many investors buy a rental without getting a Lease Transfer Letter from the seller, introducing you as the new owner.

Hey guys- Wanted to introduce myself- my name is David and I have been a licensed realtor in and around Savannah for a couple of years.

Good Morning BP,I wanted to introduce myself, my name is Chris Heinmiller and I am a long-time listener to the BP podcast, and have been a lurker on the BP forums for even longer.

The property is located in WA state which has legislation on the floor introducing rent control and changes to eviction laws.Money facts: As a rental the property cashflows $310 after mortgage, escrow and managment, small repairs planned or unplanned negate all the cash flow.If I sold it I could expect between $140-150000 after taxes and expenses.

I was introduced to the Real Estate industry after reading Rich Dad Poor Dad when I was 18.

I bought it for 125k after I was introduced to a great private money guy. 1 year balloon note at 10% and 2 points covering the entire purchase.

Its a broad spectrum type read but introduces you to a lot of investor thought processes.

The flipper is someone like you who is looking to be the middleman in a transaction and make a "commission" for introducing the buyer to the seller.

Thanks for taking the time to introduce yourself.
