A final thought; it's kind a of a shame the tenant decided to implement her own little passive-income strategy here because now she will likely have an eviction attached to her and she will be paying my lawyer's fees and costs of restoring any damage to the property and related losses.

I have gone back and listed to that section a few times, but I still don't have a fine enough grasp on the content to "own it" when speaking to a seller.Does anyone here have a firm enough grasp to break down and explain to the group the line items he mentioned, ordinary vs capital gains calculations, and so on?

I like to treat everyone like a friend so I tens to go above and beyond....there is a fine line.

Most of the normal properties were pulled prior to auction but we bid on a property that was a little too remote for us to bid too price but sold at a price that an experienced flipper should be able to turn a fine profit.  

The property manager does a fine job, I just don’t want him to shut me out because of him potentially losing a client.Thanks for your input!

Boston is a fine city.

Opinions on both sides of the fence, And it occurs to me that there is a fine line between doing it the right way, and possibly ending up with a cease and decist order or worse.

.- A final touch, this one could be another post card, a short yellow letter or a 1 page white letter.The idea is to provide a simple initial message, expand on that message and then reinforce the urgency of the message.

I'd look at all three before making a final decision.

Here are some things you want to look out for with whoever you work with and what to avoid.Don't allow financing or a finance contingency (it can be a good indication they are selling above market value)Don't allow for your own independent property inspectionAre not realistic with their pro forma's (i.e. they don't include vacancy or maintenance projections or use unrealistically low vacancy factors)Require you to pay for any renovation upfrontSell only in cheap. low end neighborhoodsDon't accurately represent the neighborhood/property classificationDon't have consistent rehab standards for all propertiesDon't provide a scope of work for the propertyCan't provide references of repeat investorsRequire you to close before a tenant is in place
