What is the best/fastest/cheapest way to get them out?

You can get around that by filing a motion for immediate possession if it truly is vacant which will speed the process up. 

Hopefully, some of those homes are still on the new list in mid June and can help speed things up.Ned, I have another question. once you pay the money, is there anything that I need to do that same day?

I was able to pick myself back up and have been doing deals consistently for about a year, just not at the speed I’d like to.

That is the fastest way to get the person on defensive.

@Michael Swan I just finished your podcast episode and you almost made me regret listening at 1.25x speed. 

Speed at which interest rates have climbed is more of concern that interest rates themselves.

Back in the 1990s, Bill Gates wrote a book about it ("Business @ the Speed of Thought").

The biggest question is whether or not you and your mother are willing to move 20-30 minutes down the road.Saint Pauls NC has a nice 1200 sq.ft. house listed in the mid-$20s that you should be able to get up to speed without too much money as long as you know someone who will do plumbing work for you cheap.If you have approximately $20K, you ought to be able to find something in your price range in rural NC, but it might not be in your immediate vicinity.Good luck,

First deals are about learning at full speed.
