Welcome to BP @Eric Wilson, I have been on here about a year and am pursuing wholesaling. 

Then we pursue them by direct mail and/or door knocking.We offer to either list their property, or give them "cash for keys."  

This is my first experience dealing with a non-paying tenant and I wonder what strategy I should pursue.1.  

The fact you have pursued a real estate license shows you're not stuck.Keep reading, getting educated, network at local REI and listen to the podcasts.

They're out there - it just takes looking at a lot of properties to find ones worth pursuing further. 

In some states a verbal contract is legal but not enforceable in a court of law.One thing if you are pursuing a short sale is to not tie up a bunch of earnest money with a short seller and have a short time in the contract.

I have done a lot of analysis on MLS listings including the more detailed Frank Gallinelli version of using NOI and cash flow to derive IRR and shortlisted 4 multifamily units from 100s that I looked through that I want to pursue and which offer a good COC and cash flow per unit.

I see the value in owning a single MFH versus multiple SFHs and would like to pursue that avenue instead, eventually.

My name is Meagan and I'm a 22 year old female interested in pursuing real estate investing.

I need to know before pursuing a 1031 exchange.
