I have been looking at flipping a very low end property with a price of 6k with and ARV range from 40-60k. Has anyone else started this low and was it sucessfull? I am handyman and able to do most of the rehab myself. Any ideas where to find 20k loans for flipping?

Me also Marc, nice to meet you...and look forward to doing business with you. 

Hi Greg,

 I am an investor/handyman/realtor located 1/2 hr from GR and Kzoo, I see great deals all the time on distressed homes, and realized most need minimal work to be bank qualified. I am interested in assisting your prequalified clients find homes.

Hello,

I am wondering what the local landlords around Kalamazoo use to do there tenant screening. I have done WRONG and cannot afford to do it wrong again. Thanks for your input,

The tenant also had a GF that lived there, I see the new door is not securable anymore, do i have the right to secure my property from squatters? covering the doorway with plywood untill the writ is served?

hello,

So, I am in the process of eviction, and 3 days before the tenants were told to be out, the tenant from apt 3 does an arm robbery on the tenants in apt 1 and gets put in jail. Does a writ still need to be filed if the tenant is in jail? He also has a nonrunning car in my driveway, could I have a right to it? He does owe me more than its worth.

I am ending my first year as a landlord and let's just say I have made a few mistakes. (not certifying before renting, not screening tenants, no deposit..ect) I would like to here some creative LOOPHOLES that landlords have used to expedite evictions.

Hello Brad and Spouse,

Welcome to BP.. I am a local newer investor in the area also, I am also a licensed Realtor and would be happy to help you start looking for your first project. I am learning alot of things the "HARD WAY" and would be willing to share what not to do... I live in Delton, but have investments in Kalamazoo.

I have learned a lot from all of this....and need to just say "NOPE"

I have a couple tenants that are in my 4 unit, I let them move in without it being certified. They examined the apartments and liked them, paid some of the deposit  with a promise to pay the rest the next day, moved in, didn't pay, served them a "7 days to vacate" for non- payment of rent, 45 days later the judge dismissed the case due to wrong complaint form, so I served them a 30 day "End of tenancy", I have court in 2 weeks, I'm sure they will ask for a trial again to get 2 more weeks free rent, but when they are out, what's the best way to pursue a lawsuit aginst them. It will be approx 3 1/2 months they will be there without paying rent.
