This just covers the basics: how many people, do they have pets, what is their timeline for moving?

I wasn’t prepared to lose so much of my savings as carrying cost basically I paid for the tenants to live there for 3 months + my own living expenses in that time.

The judgments have to be looked up manually, because screening software only looks for unlawful detainers and the Virginia court records don’t feed consistently accurate to the other programs.

Take all your analysis that you did for the deal to court so you can explain why they got the value wrong. 

We had to schedule another hearing, but when the tenants failed to attend, the court simply scheduled another opportunity for them.

Real estate is not the stock market and it's called buy & hold and not buy & sell for a reason.I did sell a few properties about 10 years ago when I learned the hard way that going into cheaper neighborhoods was not the right strategy for me, so that was basically a strategy correction and it was necessary, but also costly both in terms of dollars and time.

I am basically looking for a cashflow property in the Lehigh Valley or anywhere else, but I would love to visit the property as I am staying in the NJ/NY region.

The tenant may be setting you up, hoping you don't respond so she has a reason to withhold payment and take YOU to court.

The insured sued the insurer, and the trial court agreed with the insurer and dismissed the insured's complaint. 

You get tied up in court and every deal you've ever done gets reviewed to see if there are any other "fraudulent" transfers.
