Never heard of either company, but as far as investing out of state. Yeah I can respond to that. I think it is GREAT. You have to put a SOLID team together and follow it because this is your business. Today a home is just a snap of your fingers away called email.

I have out of state properties in MI and now looking into St. Louis. I live in Charlotte, NC where I also own properties. I have set my life style up to do what I want and when. I enjoy helping others, but at the same time I understand that individuals say they want help, but when you tell them the things that have made you successful they don't want to do them if it causes them some discomfort.

Pm me or add me as a colleague and we will talk.

First of all this is not UNCOMMON in todays society. Many landlords are taking the tenants money and using for there own benefits and then letting the properties go forcing the tenant to up root and find somewhere else to go.

First and foremost I would not PAY her another dime. You are legally covered because you can prove that she has not been paying the house payment with your payment. Make sure that you have all your copies of checks and receipts to prove this matter.

I would say you can go to court and see what is being said, but that techinally do not have to speak with you. She is signed and therefore she is the one that they would want to speak with, but it is good if you go to learn the process.

Start preparing yourself to move and find another resident, because eventually you will have to move. Also, I would take one of the statements that comes to the home and call the attorney as you have done and get the mortgage companies info and try and speak with someone even though without an authorization to release info you will not get far.

I would do a search in the county tax records and find out where the owner actually lives and I would send her a certified return receipt document for damages. Add up all the payments and everything and the fact that you are going to have to move and send her that. Then she will know that you have a claim which is legal against her.

You can get a judgement against her for NEGLECT and not performing under the agreement that you and her have. Make sure that you send her a copy of the agreement and highlight the areas such as payments.

Next situation you or anyone else gets into I would recommend that you direct deposit the payment to the mortgage company. If the landlord refuses find out why and then I would step away from that situation. Not all landlords are bad, but there are many that are misleading the MASS.

Hope this info helps you.

Welcome Victor. Much info and many threads that will help you. My believe is to jump in and test the water. Once you see how it is then you can make corrections from there.

Enjoy and much success.
