I'm ready to exercise it, but need an agent to help with the simple paperwork for a flat fee. 

In many cases, tenants don’t end up exercising the option.

To exercise the Early Termination Option.

For the larger properties with considerable equity, we are looking to exercise the option with a bridge loan to pull cash out and then a year later we can refinance with HUD.

What surprised me wasn’t the rankings themselves, but how often the exercise surfaced where my gut feeling disagreed with the data — and forced me to explain why.At least for me, that’s been more valuable than chasing a single “top market” list.I’m curious how others here think about this:Do you start with a preferred strategy and narrow markets from there?

Using the advice from Brandon Turner's book, I've been trying to evaluate a deal a day to exercise the muscle.Considering housing prices in my area are quite high, I may try to relocate back to Minnesota in the next year or two, and I would like to save $10k-$15k more to invest in my first deal (currently have about $25k saved to invest in the future), I feel like I'm in limbo with my REI journey.For those of you who are further along in your investment journey, where would you go from here?

What have you done to prepare for the purchase on your own and would a stranger feel you've exercised a valiant effort?

If you do not exercise your right of first refusal, then someone else might be the next year's lien.

If Amy bought in person, at the county, she will need to contact the county during a window that is 30 days to 5 days before the 2026 auction and tell them she wants to buy the 2025 lien coming up for sale in the 2026 auction.Amy decides not to exercise her right of first refusal, or misses the deadline, or something.Mark’s 2025 lien goes through the 2026 auction and Sally buys it at 10% interest on a $1,000 tax lien.On that date, if Mark redeemed from Amy’s 2024 lien, he would owe Amy $1,000 plus one year of interest at 6%, or $1,060.That $1,060 will be added to the $1,000 Sally owes for buying the 2025 lien.

If the tenant did not agree to the "buy out" offer, then you simply inform the tenant that you will be exercising your remedy right under FS 83.595(2).
