In this situation, I've usually recommended that you give the tenants a heads-up and let them know that you will limit showings to buyers after an accepted offer.Conversely, if the ratios don't favor investors, then I would recommend waiting until the properties are vacant before marketing for sale.  

I can only hope to repay the favor someday - look me up if any of you ever pass through Hong Kong.

Fortunately, I was able to return the favor when he needed it most.

If you have stable employment then that is very favorable.  

If you are getting business from this web site, do yourself a favor and change the verbiage - you'll get even MORE business!

Do you favor offering over the phone more than putting something in writing?

Unless I come across another favorable style of investing in RE on this site.Thanks!

Bill SchrimpfA couple of points that you are overlooking that should work in your favor-- taxes should be included in the 50% of expenses, so when you're subtracting out the mortgage payment, just count the P&I.-- the HOA should be covering exterior maintenance and maybe some utilities (i.e. water for my condo) which should cut down on how much you need to budget for those.

If ready and clean in walkthrough by move-out date, deposit returned by check on the spot, and favorable reference for new landlord.

Some investors favor being licensed, some are against it.
