To thrive in real estate investing, you must maintain a firm grip on your finances.

I’d recommend pushing to get that or get the city involved to revoke their license, both of these firms.

I never lost the desire to start my own business and "work to live, rather than live to work".

Very helpful.I've decided to look for an existing firm to and forgo go the franchise route.

The neighbor told us she taught pole dancing in one of the rooms & the guy who bought the home from us found the solid brass pole in the basement & the ceiling header & floor base firmly attached in one of the upper 6 bedrooms.

@David Ward  I think Linbarger is the law firm that handles the auctions.  

Choose the right path based on risk, desire for immediate returns, and financial situation.Good luck!

I also ask them for the forwarding address when they give notice that they are vacating the address and also give them a reminder notice of their right to be present at the close out inspection and ask them to tell me when the property will be completely vacant and a request of a date and time to have that inspection if they desire to be present. 

I own properties in a number of states and have hired and worked with a number of property mgmt firms and these guys hands down are the worst.

For example, don't have your CPA firm do your books, why because if there is a mistake they won't catch it.
