It seems that often when companies acquire large books of business in one shot there are growing pains and unfortunately those are felt at the client level.

Acquiring pre-existing rental portfolios?

I’m passionate about real estate and am working towards building my investment portfolio, with a goal of acquiring five rental properties over the next five years.I’m here to connect with like-minded individuals, learn from experienced investors, and share knowledge along the way.

Current Construction Co. and Resolute RDM have acquired this development project in Lebanon, MO.

@Paul Lucenti It is common to equate acquiring more properties to scaling and many rely on buying lower tier market/neighborhood section 8 rentals to achieve this goal.

I have a pretty large emergency fund in place for those properties, but I wonder if that capital could be better employed elsewhere (potentially acquire another property).  

Since the remedy would be only a court order to withdraw the warranty deed from county clerk filing records, the borrower would have to pay counsel out of pocket in what could be a long, drawn out case.  

However, I don't think they have resources to investigate these sorts of things and that policies exist not to prosecute them because they are likely small claims (under $10k in my state) so that the aggrieved person can seek a remedy themselves in civil court.

Quote from @Isadore Nelson: I recently acquired a property with an existing tenant who has been living there for about four years.

I've lost track of how many doors we've acquired from them.
