If you end up renting prior to the end of July, then I am not 100% sure that you can "legally" keep all of the last month's rent since you would have mitigated your loss by re-renting.  

And it's because of the quality of the collateral as seen in point 5, which allows me to model their worst case situation. for example, if the market crashes tomorrow and we can't get out without catastrophic losses (unlikely since the property market isn't the stock market), what the worst case?

But it involved a significant loss since there was not only DD costs but a dual closing and MY house was sold at that point.

Also, look to your policy for loss of rents and coverage for tenants expenses.

Job losses are at nightmare proportions and the home foreclosure rates are very high.

hi scotttruebut thats the case in any market. the issue is not pricethe issue is value.you can buy well in any market if you know what you want and you know how or what to buy.35% discount or 50% discount should not be the only factor when buying but it is a very big driving force if the idea is to hold for the long run there are many reasons to buy real estate for growth, for return, for a loss( this is not the norm in your market but is in others) and even for retirement to shelve incomeso there are lots of reasons.the problem for long hold investors is looking for income and growth these are a bit hard to judge and even harder when buying into a new are or countrybut for me the rules are the same.do a templet and then duplicate it or mirror it.and price for me is not a major issue as long as it meeting your templete requrements

I can't see why the government would do anything about losses incurred by investors, any more than they make up for stock investors' losses.

After the loss of their Philippine citizenship, they cannot subsequently acquire another land by hereditary succession; they may own houses but the land can only be leased by them.5.Filipinos who contracted to buy real estate on installment basis and subsequently lost their Philippine citizenship before the properties were fully paid can no longer have the title be issued in their names.In short, by law, foreigners can only own condominium units through a Condominium Certificate of Title (CCT).

The type of updates I'm thinking of could be applied rather inexpensively when compared to the loss of rent because of how long a dated property could sit vacant.

Originally posted by @Mark Derby: I understand the need for anonymity for all tenants but I think mothers with young children should be aware and decide for themselves if they are ok with having their children there before being stuck in a lease.So you're going to offer up the information of a woman who needs her information kept private to satisfy the unnecessary/non-request of a potential tenant?
