@Patrick PhilipThe beauty of much of this business for the investor is that while an investor sees a piece of land with a structure on it in terms of fungible value, a retail buyer sees a home and hearth, a place to raise their children, somewhere to grow old together with their loving spouse, a symbol of their financial competency, a mark of belonging to one class rather than another.

Carpeting:  belongs in a flip, not a rental IMHO  (unless you like to redo it every few years. 

I was wondering if there are any investors that would like to meet up for a coffee or a drink after work to chat about the subject. 

This would save on space in the compact areas meant for securing personal belongings and sleeping. 

Like maybe hire an off-duty law enforcement officer to simply stand there while I have my own crew set out the belongings on the curb.

@Shane HughesDid you buy the property In Order to have drinking buddies and family friends or to make money?

The good thing about where I live in NC though is that you can find pretty decent properties for under $100K, so hopefully it won’t be long until we can raise cash.

Their children grow up wanting to be a government employee like their uncle dad and drink beer on the front porch all day long.

Security deposit belongs to the tenant as does the interest .

Is there a required timeline or do I need to send notification to the tenant letting them know my intentions if they choose to leave belongings behind?
