., You gotta to be prepared and bombard them with information.

for about 5 years now, but eventually they will be right, and if rates jump to 7.5% during that six month period, you will in the end be stuck with the "horrible" 4.75% or 5% interest rate (that is still better than anything your future neighbors will get...).Exactly at the six month mark, you will get bombarded with junk mail from VA IRRRL sweatshops.

These are constantly being bombarded most often by Realtors but also investors.  

I was looking at recently foreclosed homes that sold and I think I have a strategy for that one, but its going to take a while, bombarding them with offers wont be a good strategy for sure as they may just decide to ignore me.

I don't care what other companies say they charge in your area.That is cheap especially in California where gas is very high and cost of living.We get 10% down here in Georgia easily and gas is cheaper and cost of living is much cheaper and margins are already slim structured that way.With that kind of money you had I would have went after apartments instead of a house or 2 but that's a moot point.I do know California in some areas has very friendly tenant laws that are not in favor of the landlord.I am surprised you did not research this more before purchasing as to eviction time lines.You can pay an attorney but they are extremely expensive.I saw an attorney in eviction court lose his case for his client and the tenant got another month of free rent.Just because they are an attorney doesn't mean they are competent.If you must pay an attorney you bombard them with questions and write down the answers and learn the process so that next time you can file for yourself and save your money.The question is how much do you make per hour with your business or job??

Consider that by the distressed nature of the property, the back taxes, etc you can assume that multiple investors are bombarding the seller with mail, and most of that probably goes to the trash.

Sorry to bombard you with all these questions and appreciate your time!

Realtors get bombarded with people looking for rentals and they would lose money if they took them to each one and actually showed it.
