Thank you Cleveland and all the burbs, I get 15 -20% or better net caps all the time, 

Then you have whatever time you negotiated (often 2 weeks) to remove conditions.

Stands to reason their motivation to sell with minimal hassle is high at that point in time.

If you think I can ever be of value to you, you're welcome to contact me any time.  

I'm a little late to this party, but I would definitely consider leasing it and trying to get some of your money back over since rental rates, I believe, are near all time highs, especially in Cleveland. 

It also helps that we have family who lives there, so we have a built-in excuse to tour the properties a few times a year.Does anyone have experience with Davenport?

Timelines tend to vary depending on CHMA's work load at that point in time. 

It's a bit of a tough position especially if they have been living there for a long time with the previous owner without having a security deposit.

Crystal River has been on the upswing, but you are at a good time to be looking in Florida because a lot of areas are on the pricing downswing which could help find a two-family.
