Are you looking for primary residence or investment options?

@Justin B.

Thanks for the quick answers. Looks like he has abandoned!

Hello all!

Wanted to get advice on a 3 day notice I served last week.

The tenant looks to be gone, he removed most of his stuff, leaving behind a couch and some trash. The 3 day notice is still on the door.

Legally, does this mean he is gone and I have the right to take it back over? Or do I need him to tell me so? I am assuming the latter.

He is unreachable by phone.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thank you,

Steve

Hey Jim,

I would definitely consider it, if the numbers are right.

If the ROI is worth it, id toss the keys over to a property management company.

If you choose not to use a property manager, I would be sure to screen screen screen the tenant.

Hope this helps!

HI Jenna,

I'd look at the other numbers in the deal then consider if a 35k loan is right for you.

ie. Rent, repairs, purchase price/down payment, occupancy rate, ARV

If these numbers are all good, i'd say go for it!

HI Eric,

I believe sticky notes are a great way to "leave a message". They are cheaper and, IMO, more noticeable.

As for your message, I would provide a bit of background in how you help people and are interested in buying their place.

Lastly, I would suggest the hand written approach (even if you scan your writing in and print it). Most people appreciate the time you take to hand write a note and the authenticity of it.

Good luck!

Steve

HI Jake,

Your variable loan is scary.

I would contact Peter Lohmann to discuss how he can ease your worries.

Thanks,

Steve

Hey Ben,

Welcome to BP!

I am also in Columbus. What strategies are you looking into?

Make sure you set keyword alerts!

Have fun!

Steve

I would consider giving Columbus a serious look.

With foreclosures near half price, low cost of living and a booming workforce, it's easy to get your feet off the ground.

I believe Yahoo had us as one of the best economies in a major city.

Also we have one of the lowest rates of unemployment nationwide.

Let me know when you are ready! I'd be happy to answer any questions you may have.

Thanks!

Steve
