I would keep some notes of your efforts and safeguard the belongings until you know who is the proper person to take possession of them.

Maybe to safeguard yourself from that risk, you go month-to-month on the lease unless you get someone to co-sign.

Hello Everyone, Im looking for some advice on starting an asset management company or field service company like MCS 360, Safeguard or Cyprexx Services.

@Carrie ReymentAgree with Shaunda that pre-foreclosures are great but there are a lot of caveats - it's tough with direct mail because it's very sensitive and calling / door-knocking is better but only if you know how to talk to these types of buyers.

If he was that sensitive to heat, he should not have rented my property. 

The misconception that cash elicits some discount in real estate is tenacious and unfounded in my market, and only true if the seller is desperate, the sale is time-sensitive (short sale), the property is not financeable or the appraised value is dubious.I've worked with multiple sellers particularly on the high end who don't care if it's cash or not, they just want their price.

The above valuation metric is also less sensitive to interest rates, in comparison to cap rates/price-rent.At the very minimum, need a comparison variable against which the relative valuation is assessed, not achievable if operate just in 'price' space.

Think "E*Trade with a different set of paperwork".More dynamic and/or time sensitive portfolios (rental property, a series of short-term notes, tax liens, etc.) will be more effectively handled by a Checkbook IRA LLC or Solo 401(k) plan.  

I am presuming Safeguard Advisors and other 401k administrators would charge separate fees to establish a Solo 401k sole proprietorship and a Solo 401k LLC.  

Real estate is too time-sensitive and interactive for that 3rd party model to be effective.You could look into a Roth held IRA LLC or if you qualify by being self-employed, a Solo 401(k) plan that has a Roth component.
