Still trying to figure that ourUnfortunately, many people are forced to sell as they can no longer afford to keep their homes.

You buy cash, do a cosmetic rehab to force equity, and then refi out.

First thing I think of as far as an opportunity will be people trying to find a property that is going to foreclose and has multiple heirs/  Find an heir pay them $ for a quit claim and then force sale and get $$$ from the sale based on your % of ownership.

Moving forward, I’ll avoid forcing these situations since market forces are beyond my control. 

If you owe money to the CRA and refused to pay they can force a sale on your property and get paid.

Also consider that if the mortgage isn't being paid they will add forced placement homeowners insurance on top which is very expensive.

I was in the Air Force for 8 years, so i believe i understand their thinking and i know how their finance SHOULD work. 

Hi Calvin,We pay for all property management technology fee's, etc... and that isn't a separate bill per se.Those are our standard operational expenses so on us to pay for.It would be like McDonalds charging a per burger fee for tech they use hahaWith that said, many folks don't realize how much it costs to be a full time "property manager" and not par time property manager like many realtors are forced to become due to client demand.When you are a brokerage and only focused on property management and not sales, it becomes a very expensive exercise making your company efficient and being able to offer an above par service to tenants and landlords. 

I’m active duty Air Force with four properties, three are VA loans.

You need to follow a few rules on the acquisition, and follow a few more on the experience/forced equity/hospitality side, but if you do it, it's about the highest returning equity in the business.
