Hi Michael,I would be happy to work with you and your friend on the deal; no pressure reach out to me if you like.  

As an analogy, your car has many gauges indicating speed, RPM, engine temperature, oil pressure etc; your task is to make sure that they are indicating the proper value for your car's current situation and position.  

Keep the pressure on.Even though you are getting a date for the eviction, file another notice when rent is due again.You can give them a 30 or 60 day notice to "quit" if you wantThe next rent notice you file, you should have personal service, with this you can file for a judgment.I view tenants as customers, I treat them like that until they give me a reason to do otherwise.My wife manages our rental portfolio, commercial and houses, I must admit that she is more patient, kind, understanding and lot better at tenant management than me.Try not to take your tenant's comments or actions personally, this is a business.Sometimes it is better to work with your tenants, show some empathy.Tenants don't want to move or be evicted, there are always reasons why they can't pay........my bride works with them as much as she canA vacancy is expensive

Of course, for you, the attraction of giving up profit is not having to make the monthly payment, but HML like the added time pressure created by the rehabber having to feed the interest monster.I've met a few people here locally that have broached partnering with me, where they'd provide all of the capital, but I have always wound up doing some work myself on projects to save $, but it's a different equation when saving $2,000 on demo is really only putting $1000 in my pocket.

look for one that fits your needs and doesn't pressure you to sell it do floor time.

And before my father put in the french drains and sump pumps, I remember the concrete floor buckling up from the water pressure like an earthquake. 

I can really make upward to 80k but I didn't work that much last year so that is why I base my income on a lower level than what I can actually make but I do know that getting the car was a mistake but it was a parent pressure buy because my dad sold it to me. 

I also invest in Skagit, specifically Mount Vernon, I think it's a great area.

You're saving money and you're not in a hurry, meaning you can make good decisions without outside pressures. 

If this continues, banks' loan business will eventually falter and there will be pressure on them (and the government) to ease lending criteria further (they have already dropped credit score requirements to 580 in some cases).
