hi, scrolling through this...

regarding zillow pre-forclosure, will you re-clarify what is a contact strategy to find an off market opportunity for  "zillow pre-forclosure" 

(is it a matter of speed, before marked auction) 

do we assume ones marked "zillow preforclosure auction" are gone..

lease-to-own sounds intriguing but Raleigh locals says a straight lease eviction is weeks versus lease-to-own can even be year or more, Im told stories of 18 months,

there are completely dramatic differences in cost time lines, process.

thus Im told lease-to-own is rarely done in NC...

anything Im missing or different experience?

have an attorney referal?

Anyone do alot of lease to own experience in NC ?  and has understanding and tips of the worst case scenario (eviction needed) differential for a straight lease eviction versus lease-to-own eviction?

(its been brought to my attention that straight eviction can be done in weeks, versus a lease-to-own could be year+, 18 months, completely different costs time, courts process...(People, professionals are telling me their third party stories of lease to own and how tenant doesn't pay and its massive undertaking to do eviction, and no body offers lease to own. Property managers, agents advise and say its rarely done in NC and too risky)

(I hear in education circles that lease to own is the way to go... I want to act on it. Lease to own makes sense:   higher down payment deposit non refundable, tenant is responsible for fixings, tenant takes better care of place, tenant only exercises half the time, you can raise monthly payments a little higher...Id like to use this strategy going forward....

but I never heard that eviction is completely different, between weeks and years.

Would you share a contractual way to avoid this lengthy and costly  eviction, and further experience.

(I currently have properties professionally managed in briercreek, cary, and raleigh 27611.  Im absentee in another state, hands off.

@Nicole Obregon Have you thought about lease to own? And structure deal in your favor ..

Hi Dave, I actually live in Orange Park and have been looking for a property here to BRRR for about 5 months now. We haven't been able to find anything in the area where the numbers would actually work for a rental. We've made more than a handful of offers in Orange Park, to no avail because the offers were so much lower than asking. We actually just purchased a property in Green Cove Springs (further south) because it's the area where the numbers worked. If you have any specific questions about either area please feel free to contact me. Good luck! - Kara

my biggest fear in Real estate investing is the lunging dog.....not just being in a back yard, but particularly from being the unfamiliar face in the middle of a dead end neighborhood street....

in NE Florida....a territorial dog is often loose,, or if charged up enough easily can snap the tethered tie leash or hop the small small fence...

Besides carrying a gun, what would be the weapon of choice to have for the coming dog?

Spray, or a metal device, or is there something new on the market you can suggest ?
