Since then I've been reading up on raw land investments on REtipster.com and I'm gearing up for my first direct mail campaign.  

Any insight regarding a CRM system that is geared towards flipping?

Who's gearing up to ride the wave this year, and how can we help?!

I have spent years reading, learning and researching and have finally turned this investing thing into high gear.

If you're looking to have them out, gear up for filing the eviction, plain and simple, as you're right about the likelihood of them staying over term.That said, unless your lease says something explicitly about showing the unit while they occupy it AND (my personal opinion) you've gone over that eventuality with the tenants and they've said that would be OK, I understand them being uncomfortable with strangers walking through their home.

I have some flipper friends that stay VERY busy doing them and am considering changing gears somewhat.

Are geared up to continue/grow, too.  

True CRE lenders understand commercial real estate and have very flexible programs that are geared for exactly what you are doing.  

It also means they can streamline a lot of their processes and you don't waste time and money shifting gears between each stage, accommodating schedules, getting accustomed to new people and communication styles, etc.

Though, now I have a whole method of buying at tax sales that has kicked my investing in high gear... so it's okay to make mistakes... as long as you learn from them and don't rinse, repeat.
