I already got couple of calls so far,but was able to revolve the issues myself. just to prepare myself, I am seeking for help here for recommendations of good Handyman and Real Estate Attorney(not the ones do closing, but ones that knows tenant-Landlord laws and and represent me in court when needed).Thanks in advance!

He is always at the court house and can get things taking care of before our court date.

In Texas if they take you to court and you loose they are entitled to 3x the deposit amount in settlement.

However, in this case, there was obvious negligence on the part of your contractor and the court, should it come to this, may see it as such.

Expediting common court proceedings and allow for quicker adjustment.

Wow, there are tons of ways to find deals.Vacant houses, probate, direct mail especially to non owner occupied or out of state owners, check Rent court for burnt out landlords.

hey all, i have a scenario that may be playing out here with me soon. atleast gotta prepare if and when right.ok i have this tenant for 15 months. is moving out by the end of august. has not paid for august yet stating he is in financial problems.say he moves out and i still havnt gotten paid,is court my only recourse?

This is a simple example and I've seen some complex ones that required superior court judicial decision.

If you do nothing then you run the risk of the tenant staying in the unit longer without paying anything.The notices can be obtained at the court office for a nominal fee or you can order them online from a reputable source.

I've given up on REO listings all together and mostly concentrate on court auctions or Short sales.
