Many smaller owners are fat and happy, because they bought their properties years ago and don't need to raise rents or be efficient to make money.  

@Gene HackerIf the tenant (as in the woman who passed away) is the only name on the lease...........and then the husband (who was not on the lease) decided to "move in"....it sounds like he is a squatter that had no authorization to move in at all in the first place.I believe the "eviction" should be on the (now illegal?)

If I go out with all of the offers I have for coffee and lunch I will be VERY jittery and fat! 

@Gene Hacker is spot on.....

I love talking about it, I love looking at houses, I love making offers, I LOVE when those offers are accepted, I love the back and forth negotiations, I love the possibility of what an ugly house can become, I love the process of making an ugly house better, I love listing the finished product, I love signing the closing documents and I love cashing big fat checks!

The meetup mentioned by @Gene Hacker is a good one.

If you are good at finding fat and juicy deals, you can write your own ticket.So when a hard money lender says to me, "can you go to our website and complete our loan application, I immediately roll my eyes at him.If he now says, we have to check your credit, I immediately say in my mind "FU"Sometimes, I let them go through their spill.These are our criteria, "you have to have 30% of your own money in the deal.First I say, okay, here's my scenario.I am on contract to by this property.

because you're 'cutting- in on the banksters and BIG RE's, etc. action... under the usual guise of 'little man' corruption, while the fat elephants steal everyone, even blinder???

I accidentally posted before a final proofread on the BP app (tiny screen with fat fingers) Please don't judge me up too harshly.

I just used Gene Carter and would highly recommend him.http://www.myrtlebeachadvantage.com/Have a good trip
