We have been very detailed in running the numbers and have been learning the ins and outs over the last 6+ months to ensure this investment is a wise one and now are excited to officially get started!

After all the ups and downs today I'm officially a landlord........ let the fun begin eh?  

You can see that it usually bounces around or stays near the bottom for a while, then starts increasing consistently, resulting in a recession - then we "find out" (officially) we are/were in a recession 9-15 months later.

This could involve some out of state travel to drive the areas, meet with people, etc.Personally, we don't have an official business plan (we only have one rental now) but we do have a few spreadsheets that line out our goals, rentals, etc. 

In the County, you are not required to officially notify the the tenant of their eviction date (although you probably should).

I need additional input as we move closer, closer and closer to officially starting all of our rehabs.

My plan is to make this an official business and do it full time, probably 5 or 6 houses per year to start, maybe more maybe less.

I've paid an FHA appraiser to do a 20 minute preliminary, non official, inspection to catch things I may not, prior to the FHA appraisal.

Since the owner does not know, how do I find out when the notice of default was served and how long before the home is officially foreclosed on2.

Go and talk to local bankers and you government officials about programs that they may or may not have.
