Do you mind my asking what an attorney would charge to handle a non-contested eviction (ie. 3-day notice through the default judgement)?

@Ned Carey What do you mean by "dismiss our judgement"?  

It's possible the first letter or summons will slap your tenant quickly into compliance, or you may go all the way to court/judgement/sheriff removal. 

has anybody had experience using abstract of judgement in north carolina. tenants left after 1 year lease, she always paid on time but has left home with close to $5000 in repairs.

at first they wanted the deficiancy I went to bat for him and we got that waived.. and of course there was 7 judgements for 7 different moms for child support that had to come out of that 1.7 as well.. :) WE pulled it off and I was pretty proud of my negotiating skills against wells.. but it was running up on a quarter reporting end and I guess they just really needed that loan off the books..

Quality PM's have tons of experience that lends to good judgement.

I have rescued a bunch of those investors in my day.I get the sub too attraction I just think those sellers with stellar credit that want to keep their stellar credit take a very big risk giving title away to an asset that they are on the hook credit wise for ... and especially in default judgement states..

Many "deals" that happen on the courthouse steps are for a small first mortgage, but there is no equity in the property once taxes, liens, judgements, 2nd & 3rd mortgages come in to play.

The court date is the 22nd and I might get a default judgement if they are a no show.So the real question is what to expect from Xcel.

Do the seller finance buyers then get a judgement against you for the money they've already paid?
