Does the tenant have a lease in place? Seems you could take the deposit at closing and give them a 30-day notice to vacate.

Come join your fellow Bigger Pockets tribe at a meet-up at Prairie Artisan Ale in the 8th Street Market . We've been meeting bi-weekly online for 1.5 years and have a solid group. But we're always looking to add more investors so we can all network and grow together. Newbies and experienced vets welcome.

If you can find something off-market where you're not competing with any other buyers, that would be ideal. A seller in your personal network would be where you could get the best deal. 

One tactic is to shoot a lowball offer without a deadline. If the seller doesn't get any better offers, yours is still on the table.

Hey @Kevin Q Bright, I host a bi-weekly Zoom meeting with local and out of state BP investors to discuss market trends. We'd love to have you join sometime. DM your email and I'll add you to the list.

I'd start with your own personal network and let everyone know you're looking to buy a house. You'd be surprised how many people have a one-off rental they wouldn't mind getting rid of.

GCs are like quarterbacks in football. If you have 2 GCs, you have no GCs. I've never seen a pair of contractors agree on anything. The other guy always doesn't know what he's doing.

How would a landlord document that a pet is an emotional support animal?

@Andrew Dincola, check out The Mont near the OU campus. If you like sandwiches/bar food, try Bisonwiches on Main Street. If you need intel on OKC north of I-40, hit me up.
