Thank you...BenGoogle unsecured promissory note there are 100s of variations. one page simple document does not need to be notarized although it does not hurt ..

If not are they transferring work locations or starting a new job?

Once they made that decision to sue you  they will (1) only remember events in the way their attorney suggests is to their advantage; (2) swear they never signed the documents you produce; if the documents are notarized insist that the notary must be fraudulent; if the notary is brought in to testify swear you  (a) hypnotized them or (b) brainwashed them and they’re not responsible.  

@Jenny DrabantHow would you even know if you “like” them or not? Are

If not, are the tenants aware of the coming sheriff eviction (did they receive the sheriff notice to vacate?).

If it all comes back within the parameters we look for then we collect the $3900 option fee, first month's rent, and deposit, and they sign the lease agreement and the option agreement which gets notarized and they get copies of both.  

If a claim to the two year right of redemption was made after the tax sale, then you would want to be prepared to prove, with photos, and testimony or affidavits (written notarized statements) from neighbors and/or relatives that the home was not being used as a residence for xx months."

With remote online notarization becoming main steam, mobile notaries doing closings will be a thing of the past. https://www.notarize.com/blog/digital-mortgages-eclosings-save-real-estate-billions

average borrower who is in foreclosures like you describe will get no less than 100 to 200 direct mail pieces from investors  wholeslaers  real estate agents  mortgage brokers.. and foreclosure rescue fraudsters. this is in a active or bigger MSA .. if your in some little town out in rural America there will be a lot less competition.So what happens in the real world is the homeowner is overwhelmed with solicitations.. everything from the sappy  Hey I was once broke too or I lost my house too so I know what your going throughetc etc.WE found the only way to really do this was to knock the door and make a reporte' and usually within a few days of the sale.. have the cash on hand to rescue the deal  a few days before and be able to prepare our own deeds get them notarized and recorded.. this is how you get the very best deals.

If investors (whether they themselves are licensed or not) are able to buy a property quickly, easily, and cheaper (than the MLS price) through us, rather than communicating with multiple parties on submitting offers and waiting on those offers to be reviewed/accepted then potentially renegotiating and starting the process all over again, then I see no reason why we should be looked down upon for doing so.
