., we have had a broken window (the locking mechanism), someone busted up the queen futon frame, someone took the waffle maker, beach towels go missing all the time, TV remotes gone, etc.People like to put stuff in places they think they should be.

facebook wholesale groups is a good resource for this type of stuff 

Hi everybody this is my first post and I'm very interested in buying foreclosure homes in Arizona but I don't know where to really start or what websites to use and all that stuff so if anyone could be kind enough and give me a rundown on what I should know it would be very much appreciated ☺

Also it's a good time to look around to see if the tenants have a bunch of stuff plugged into an extension cord somewhere in the house - new service, old wiring, and multiple devices on an extension cord pulling juice from knob and tube wiring is no bueno.Do not call your insurance company about the repair!

My focus there is on doing value-add stuff.

My initial reaction from my walk through above would be that the holding period in the Real Estate doesn't begin until you have the rights and benefits associated with the real estate - so the earliest at the end of the redemption period, but really beginning once you take possession and can start doing stuff with the property.Some further digging I found some examples of it, but if you were a paying client I would be spending more time to see if there were any subsequent changes to this rule - at the very least Bloomberg isn't calling it out on me ;) . 

And damn right I get hot under the collar, everyone should, this is very serious stuff and it matters deeply.

I wont live to see this stuff but I hope my Grandkids do well with it.. !!!!

An example of not recession resilient would be a karate studio or hair salon, things consumers cut back on when times are tough (and now you, the property owner, aren't getting rent, and thus might have challenges making your mortgage payment).

Build a team-Get a property manager to handle the daily stuff,and maybe even a local handyman in your chosen state.Use online platforms for rent payments, maintenance requests, and communication.Touch base with your property and team, build relationships with tenants.
