If you don't handle all the paperwork correctly and serve notices at the right time and in the right manner, you will prolong the whole process.  

Do not wait any longer it will just prolong the inevitable.  

We will people with foreclosures that went a short period of time (6 - 9 months) if they have a clean credit report for the past 2 years.We will never take tenants with any evictions or if they ever forced a prolonged foreclosure as 1) They have tasted what it is like to live rent/mortgage free and they just might like the taste of that  2) They probably know all of the loopholes and stall tactics in the book as well as every obscure right they have.Pass on them.

While most of these homes bought during the recession have been foreclosed on, there are ways to prolong this process in my state so somebody can be delinquent for years before they get foreclosed on.

@Connie Chan if you’re talking in general for me it’s probably maintenance that I haven’t encountered before (which is becoming less and less) or pro longed vacancy.If you’re talking remote investing (which I’ve also done), then that adds a whole new ball game.I’d say getting ripped off by contractors would be number 1 then, or overpaying for stuff (which happens all the time, mainly to people from the west coast).

If you look at the bottom regarding legal ties to another state...she'll obviously show prolonged living elsewhere. 

@Jay HinrichsI wish it was not so, but Trump, or any other president, is powerless to stop a recession, especially one that can potentially dwarf the GFC.He could make it less painful though and let it run its course for a swift resolution, going contrary to Roosevelt’s style in the 30s, which prolonged the Great Depression.

This gives you a little space if you need to outsource management for any reason ... or if you have an unexpected repair or prolonged vacancy.

There is also a military base nearby, so I'm counting on having prolonged rental interest.

Hi All, friends of mine just lost lost their mother/mother-in-law a few days ago after a prolonged illness.
