Even when starting an eviction quickly it can cost far more than the deposit to get somebody out, especially if they know all the delay tactics.

Use Craigslist ads creatively,aggressively, and tactically to get responses like this!

Also dont let your sense of "doing the right thing" overpower your sense of being practical.

I have no direct experience with them and want to stress that my questions about them are merely based on personal opinion/curiosity (I am not making any statements about them)But they strike me as using 'aggressive sales tactics' and they don't appear to be (as far as I can tell based on their website) regulated, licensed or registered in any way, which, if I understand correctly, means no accountability to anyone for anything.

If you do things that cause bank employees to spend time addressing petty delaying tactics, they just caused a financial loss to the lender as those employees do get paid.

I loved the office but hated the nickel and dime tactics that occurred so I decided to just use my home as my office and meet potential investors at coffee shops, ect.

I don't really want to have to be in a situation to have to do that, but I also think you could get in some trouble in the Bay Area by carrying weapons to collect rent (if it were viewed as an intimidation tactic...Anyway, lessons learned, to watch out for the over-zealous inspector!!

Its got quite a few good tactics, but I just want to be ahead of the game.

While I agree there may be some solid sales tactics that may be employed I just try to get to know them and try to help them.2.

I have some sneaky tactics for handling situations like this but I wouldn't promise they are the most suggested approaches either...lol.
