Jackie nailed it. For a apartment complex it's too much people, liability, etc.

Good question. I would like to know also from someone that has actually ran a full eviction with electronic signed lease.

I had to redo a PA because Chase wouldn't accept electronic on a short sale, more than once.

So 3 of the homes are metal/metal (siding & roof) and the the '91 is shingle vinyl?

Cole Tarbet How long have you worked for Rentmatic?

My wife is picking up bad habits from me, we were at a REO this past Sunday. I was looking at the windows and she must have went around back. Before I realized she was around back, she opened the front door from the inside. She just smiled and said the slider has a lot of play in it.

When financing was easy to get, people took a weekend seminar and went off buying. This is easy they thought and it was to get the properties purchased. Then the tenant variable enters with an inexperienced LL.

I have been taking the problems off their hands, on a short, with a smile.

To add a example:

I had a clown in a multi family we purchased on a short sale. The previous owner let him in there because the prop was going under anyway, with the idea he would do stuff. I began the evection process the day we closed because he was way behind anyway. When he did get out (day before a full move-out evection) he took all the stuff he improved the unit with. To add insult to injury he took all the plugs and cut the wires flush with the back of each box.

The issue is thing will go well when its in their favor. When they are getting booted, all control is now in their court and they can, and some will, go to town on the place before there out.

If there are ants, spray around the house to show good faith. No big deal, we get a few requests every spring.

Who cares what the lease says, it's your house, do you want ants in it?

Just my .02

It doesn't sound horrible but the basement needs to be looked at by 3 contractors with ballpark numbers before any decision can be made.

Back in 08 I went through this with a duplex also. The poured walls were bowing in. There had been 2 previous "repairs" in the end the numbers didn't justify the risk.

I've had some of the worst days of my life working under mobile homes growing up, there no fun.

My parents found it as free labor in their parks. Now, if work is needed from the bottom, I have no problem delegating it :)
