Quote from @Preston Dean: Quote from @Michael Ewers: Quote from @Preston Dean: Hi @Michael EwersI have had a few past clients from Cali call me saying "I sent post cards to home sellers and I have someone who wants to sell, can you help me with pictures and videos" I think their method was just mass mail and they got a few hits.

It can be personally designed post cards or it can be letters. 

File lien if you find assets. (3) File wage and bank garnishment if you have bank account number and current employer. (4) In most cases it is impossible to find current whereabouts of the tenant to serve any papers (garnishment papers)(5) We have started asking for car insurance cards to get information on the car, the only asset most tenants posses.(6) We have not been able to find new address of any of the evicted tenants.

Letters, post cards even calls are useless to this owner class. 

It's like drafting a rookie QB and expecting to win the Super Bowl his rookie year.Based on the tax increase, my assumption is you chose a great appreciating neighborhood and have a similar mentality to me. 

We own 3 other rental properties that have a 6.5%-7.5% APR, and no credit card debt or any other high interest debt to pay off.

At the moment with 3 rentals (6 total units), I have one account and a credit card associated with it.

I have been a ROOKIE!

Quote from @MIchael McCUe: Money isn't easy to save and $10,000( my debts) is a ton of money I want to save for a downpayment, I'm just starting so I don't have any money I would like to save $60,000 to buy a rental property, I think I could do it in  5-6 years, my brother filed bankruptcy and they relieved him of $6000 in debt from cash money.a list of my debtGst Hst Tax 4500 income tax from working with my dad I oweScotiabank credit card 1400Canadian Tire credit card 500cash money loan 2400Belair 600echelon 600should I pay the 10k back in the next while or should I file bankruptcy like my brother as It won't be for years until I am able to get a downpayment for a rental house anyway.Here are the negative consequences, in regard to real estate, of filing bankruptcy1.

. - I will ding their credit such that all credit cards and other debt will cost them more.- I will keep their security deposit for funds owed.- I will do my best to garnish future wages until their debt to me is paid in full.This has worked 100% time so far.
