Hi I am glad you are watching what I recommended ..try starting with 2018 he gives a lot of practical info and tells you what it is like day to day as a wholesaler. 

Obviously the 49 other states will take your money all day as well.

If the current owner walks away with the security deposits and the tenants cause damage before they move out you will find yourself in a hole.Lastly if you do make an offer and look to close, I would speak to the tenants and let them know management for the property will be changing, ___ is the day rent is due, ____ is the day a late fee will be applied, and if they are negligent you WILL file for an eviction.

First one took me 10 months, second one took me literally one day (closed on the first one and put the second under contract the same day as I closed).

Owner occs will have an easier time getting along day to day, as will those who own something that is safe in all other aspects, i.e. ceiling height, stairs etc. 

As far as tools, I am a Real Estate Investment Analyst by day, a Realtor for investors on the side, I'm working towards a CCIM certification, and I have a Masters in Real Estate Development.

I'll like to attend one of Jeff's meetup one day as well.

What about meeting w/ the board and asking for a exemption that will expire on the same day as your lease?

I have been absorbing so much through BP podcast and forums, I hope to be a contributor to the community one day as a experienced investor.

The day a lis pendens is recorded, these homeowners are BOMBARDED with mail from foreclosure firms, BK attorneys, investors, realtors - you name it.
