These categories of desperate landlords prefer secretive selling options. Yearly hundreds of such houses are being sold through this option. But when he's hit with debilitating economic conditions due to recession like we're having it now, then he succumbs. Also loss of spouse , divorce, relocation due to transfer, retirement, payment of fees of children in ivy league schools at home and abroad are some of the many factors that could economically handicap a landlord to want to desperately want to sell his house.
