Squatters can now be locked out of a property and their possessions removed, but a landlord CANNOT physically remove the squatters themselves.The local police are supposed to enforce these laws and assist landlords in removing squatters.The reality is that when you call the Detroit Police to remove squatters:1) The police often don’t know/care about squatter laws and state you must take the squatters to court to evict them.

I recommend reading “Long-Distance Real Estate Investing: How to Buy, Rehab, and Manage Out-of-State Rental Properties” - I found it to be very helpful when I got started investing 2.5 years ago.

If you read what I just described for someone else, you'll get a better idea of what I was talking about.  

Quote from @Nicholas Dillon: I read somewhere that you can request to have your mortgage insurance dropped once your Loan to Value reaches 80%.

The presumption of most reading this is you mean stocks and bonds and other assets you would buy from brokerage houses.

If you just want to build your cash reserves then flipping is the way but just be careful - that too takes a lot of work and research to make sure you don’t lose money.  

Because it's too much energy to take 2min to read it, instead they just read for a #, and call me to ask everything they just refused to read in looking for my #........ 

Good news is they must have read my welcome guide

I saw it coming so I forced myself to learn REI strategies and to read this forums 2-3 times per week.

I have learned once again, No one cares about your properties like you do.
