Need help with a clean out?

Both my tenants are great and keep the house very clean.

Do granite counters make a worth while investment or are renters there looking for cheap, safe and clean?

Some property managers require a receipt from a cleaning company to release the security deposit.

I want to know about getting deals,what are the best methods or programs to get tax liens, probates, foreclosures, etc before they hit the MLS 

Some investors would paint and do a clean up and buy what appliances need replacing and say it's 'livable'.

Sellers have to be greatly motivated though - and when it's turned around - sellers may want to keep it after it was "cleaned up for them".

People like new and clean, and are willing to pay for it as long as the neighborhood/city calls for it.

if you cannot get everyone to vacate the property and you are not willing to try and work with whoever is left in the property then you will need to name the tenant along with "any and all occupants", "unknown occupants", or "others" in the pay-or-quit notice and also the court documentsI usually always include "Others" just to make sure all bases are covered since many tenants like to move in other people, pets, boats, trash, etc without telling me which I am then left to clean up.

The former method is much more profitable!
