@Kirk R. You sound like a typical loser to me. Man up. Identify yourself for all. You are not a former captain I am willing to bet. Most former captains would look after service members. Your willingness to advocate to violate their civil rights is an embarrassment. You are an Embarrassment to the BiggerPockets community. And to do so anonymously how chicken-****.

you can believe me or not don't really care. I was a captain. 

What did I post that you are so passionately offended by?  That made you decide to curse at me? 

Where in the hell did you get the idea that it is okay to screw over a service member?  How is that okay? .... yes I am passionate. Because as an officer for over 2 decades of war, I have seen it all.  And I am a LL too.  SCRA exists to protect a service member who is going into harms way.... it is the cost of doing business as a LL.  I have had it done to me too... it is what it is... it was you that advocated a slimy way to screw a soldier, not me! 

 well since you aren't telling me how you think I'm advocating to screw over our military members.

Take care of yourself.  & I know it can be tough. & I do appreciate all our military members.  & your service.  although you seem really wound up.  I won't post on this particular thread again.

I agree.  The original question was legitimate, but Captain Kirk Anonymous User advocated to screw the service member over in violation of the Congressional Act and I called him out on it.  If he is so passionate about hosing some poor E4 or E5, illegally mind you, then by all means he can put his real name to it.  This kind of crap is what gives landlords a bad name.  If he wants to come up to USMA and challenge my defense of a service member deploying into harms way then he knows where I am stationed, the door is open. As I explained above, too often I have come back from a deployment to find some unscrupulous LL like kirk who hosed a service member or their spouse.  It happens often.  If he is truly a veteran, then he is an utter embarrassment to the service.   I cannot fathom advocating the illegal screwing of our military service members.  How in the **** is this okay?

 Again.  What did i post? that has you thinking I'm out to take advantage of veterans.

So, I was cold calling and asked a "lady" if she was making mortgage payments on the house and she said "its none of your business" lol and I said "ok" and she laughed at me, so, my question is... how would you handle this objetion?

 Sorry I know that's a little bit of a nosy question.  But, I need to know this because if you owe more on the house tgan it's wirth we could do a short sale.  My experience is I don't want to waste my time or yours.  That's why I like to know this upfront.

gotta be really careful doing cash for cops.  give cops too much money they get over excited & go overboard. 

Then if your utilities aren't marked, the cops when they go to dig holes can hit a gas or electric line.

don't do cash for cops.  hopefully maybe maybe not the cops will do their jobs in a professional manner without being bribed & without being tyrants.

So 7 out of the 14 people who were living in there had no place to go all day yesterday after we got them out and piled up all their belongings in the front yard. They and their pit bull hung out all day in the yard with their stuff. They slept out in the front yard last night and were still there in the morning! I called the cops on them last night because the neighbors were concerned and told me it looked like they were trying to get back inside the house. They even took showers with my garden hose on the side of the house. Who knows where they were going to the bathroom! The police told me they could stay until 3pm the next day since all their belongings were there. I told them the law says I have to leave their belongings out for 24 hours..not 29 hours. And having 7 people and their pit bull sleep outside in my front yard was borderline trespassing. You can’t make this stuff up! Lol. 

I called the cops the next day (today) because  my contractors refused to go in and do work today with these people hanging out on the front porch this morning, after seeing all the weapons and used drug needles all over the house on the clean out yesterday. Not to mention some of them are in one of the most brutal  deadliest gangs in the US (according to the officer who conducted the swat team raid on them 3 months ago and arrested 4 gang members in my house). The police officer told me due to Covid they didn’t want to deal with them so I was on my own. Nice. They finally left in the late afternoon today. Yay!

 I know right it will probably be on Fox about how some space aliens were trying to relocate to Earth. 

If the property owner had just put up a good fence.
