I'm a out of state landlord, the tenant skipped out last month and left me with a damaged, filthy, full of garbage and roaches house.

I have been listening to BiggerPockets for a couple of months now and have been doing my own research over the past several months as well.

Total turnaround time can be within the same month if you start at the beginning of the month, but don't be surprised if it continues into the next month.S8 in my area outsources the inspections.

This was months ago and family member has lawyered up to see what’s going on we did continue working until we ran out of credit card figuring once the money is released we could just pay off the cards but the money is still on hold Back in October we decided that money does not exist and started applying for hard money loan/speaking to lenders and have gotten nowhere.

I spent months reading, browsing forums and meeting with other investors to prepare.

This month's Units magazine from the National Apartment Association has a good piece on fraud detection.  

Windows should be installed this week.

I just had to pay for and its being installed today a new HVAC at 11k.. on a property that I net 1k a month on .. there went a year of cash flow Poof.

Let's say you spent a month on the initial preparation: cleaning, painting, shopping for furnishings, assembling IKEA furniture and so on.

Mind you, they had my plans for months.
