It is my understanding that people refinance and then use those funds other ways (personal living, investing, some to buy another property) as a means to minimize tax obligation. 

I personally recommend people look into an FHA on a small multi to get started.

So, to casually mention eviction before investigating how this might be resolved in a positive way would shock any rational person. 3.

what kind of investment was/is this  a little more detail may protect others if you think this person is a financial predator.  

We have been able to get some great deals simply by doing extra research that the average person wasn't willing to do.

I dont know  personally if Kathy Fehtke sells her props or not..

Hiring a lawyer sounds expensive, but it is way cheaper than hiring a amateur (in this case yourself) who costs you money and provides no results (and then you need to hire a professional anyway).My personal philosophy is to "do it right, or do it twice" and its way cheaper to do it right once. 

Personally I like the Section 8 program when the property is located in a super poor area with a ton of blight and crime.

Focus on the person (the seller), not the offer.

If you did not like that experience, maybe you should try a smaller company to get a more personalized service experience.
