My background is 7+ years in food service with a B.S. in hospitality management.

Food for thought.

They really need food!

strong rental market, diverse economy, and a food scene you will enjoy... my 2 cents :-)

Thanks guys, all good food for thought

Otherwise, if you do a good job of screening your tenants the whole ordeal will tend to work itself out with minimal daily input on your end.Welcome to the forum!

The higher up the food chain the better.

I have learned so much from here and used that information in my business and daily life.

Hello BP,We recently acquired a condo in  Falls Church,VA area through court house for flipping.The owner/occupant was a old lady did not move out after we purchase the unit.While we are in legal process to get possession, i received a call from the HOA today that the neighbors of this unit observed a foul smell and called the police to see what is going on.we are breaking the lock as soon police arrive and get into the property.The smell could be from the leftover food or could be anything.To prepare for a worst case, i am trying to understand how to deal with the situation and get some affordable master cleaner referrals.Thank you,Vinod.

@Larry Moore Jan and Larry Jordan run a meetup group in Blue Springs - they have a meeting Thursday Night - I think that is covering tax sales in Jackson County - their last email to me said that the list will be available Friday and you have to get it from a legal publication like the Daily Record or the Pulse Legal - these can get you probably the lists in Jackson, Clay, Platte and Cass - and maybe St Louis - just note that St Louis County and Jackson County do not sell tax liens, but sell properties after 4 years of non-payment so their sales differ.Look for the Blue Springs Real Estate Investment Group on Meetup to get more info about this event to learn how Jackson County tax sales work.
