I attended college while a husband, father of 3, and working full time to obtain an Associate of Science in Electronic Engineering Technology, Bachelor of Science in Business Administration, and Master of Science in Management.

The story behind this guy was he had an extra property that he had to kick his son out of because of drugs and such.I asked him if he would sell it for what he owed on it and he said yes.

The FHA, or Federal Housing Administration, provides mortgage insurance on loans made by FHA-approved lenders.

@Tom CaruthersThe current administration wants to eliminate the 1031 exchange.  

I've also used public-record.com for code violations and divorces, i've gone to the county court house to get probate files (which many include the administrators phone number) and also list source for out of state owners and pre-foreclosure lists.  

I am also an administrator for the REI MasterMind Honolulu club for experienced investors here in Hawaii.

We have our administrative assistants send out our direct mailings (among other duties)We start them at $12/hour.

There are also the attorneys fees and administrative costs, as well as the opportunity cost, of placing land in a trust.

do you think this would attract that type of tenant who is possibly selling drugs or doing other illegal things?

While I won't defend him on run down rentals I think it is unfortunate that society wants to hold him responsible for vacant properties and drug trade which he did not create.
