I'm sure I'm not the first, has anyone had experience salvaging the tenant relationship in this instance?

But how often does, for instance, an apartment get painted given the fact there it's a long standing tenant.

It seems the park owners and managers keep a very tight reign on their park operations around here.That said, I know of one instance wherein the local guru teachers flipped one in San Marcos and I suspect they've done others as well.

For instance, in CA, contingencies are customarily Active, meaning a Buyer needs to actively remove them in writing.

For instance the price you would buy a house for and the price you can rent it for evens out often which creates little or no cash flow.

Also, have you learned any valuable lessons in instances where you purchased w/ cash (I am including private money, hard money, and HELOC funds when I say cash)?  

Any mathematical data if for instance I send out 1K letters?

I lived at Silverado CC for years and its up the hillthe very famous RE guru ( those that are vilified on this site) was Dave Del Dotto.. he has a pretty nice gig going in in Rutherford bench and his tasting room and caves on Montecello road were right across the street from my home..

I did that for 2 more months and now I have a contract signed. the thing that kept me motivated was a podcast I was listening to called "the real estate rich and famous" in most of the episode they kept saying take action take action take action over and over again and that's what made me take the action to go look at a house and have a contract signed

If you can get to know an area, and its trends, you can get to know where, for instance, rents are pressing higher, or where new employers are coming in, or new development that benefit a neighborhood (like a Microbrewery).
