Don't get me wrong the market goes up more over time then down but if you happened to take out the loan when the market was at a high point this would actually be a win for you.  

It's the ultimate win/win.

If you win, the tenant has X days to vacate.The entire process can be done in less than 30 days.

I enjoy hearing about peoples’ personal wins and innovative, creative strategies.  

Sugar wins a lot more deals than vinegar.  

They don't care about doing the right thing they care about hooking, selling and maintaining appearances just long enough to win business. 

So, as some of you may know, I managed to win my eviction hearing and the judge ordered the tenant to pay.Has anyone tried to collect on these judgements? 

We normally do not seek judgement due to the expense that is involved, even after you win you have to continue to renew the judgement every year.We put them in collections and have it hit all three credit bureaus.

After 20+ years, I hear from so many who are more motivated by fear than optimism and make decisions based on not losing rather than a high probability of winning. 

In our experience, things move in ebbs and flows and the speed of rental depends on your asking rents relative to competition.For example, there was a period of several months at one of our properties when a 3 or 4 BR unit came on the market it rented almost instantly.
