If vacant, simply due to lease expiration, would you still go ahead with the deal?

Do you have a planned shut down, or work straight through?

I don't know if this is a common thing, or may be it's just a pure coincidence that I came across a few times just in the last two months.When I schedule with a listing agent to see a home, and most times it's either a short sale or REO, especially a REO, the home is vacant and you have a lock box with a four digit combination code.Now once in a while I will be at the property on time and the agent's running late, and I would get a call from them saying "go on ahead, the code is xxxx and I'll be there in 10 minutes".

After 4 Failure to Pay Rent judgements within 12 months, they can get a Warrant of Restitution Without Right of Redemption...which means even if they paid, I can still evict.I have never needed a lawyer for this...it's been pretty straight forward.
