Unlike some states with strict rent control and tenant protections, Memphis offers a straightforward eviction process and fewer restrictions.

You also need to account for the eviction process, state laws etc...

Was the process smooth, and did the property meet your expectations?

@Michael Smythe Great processes Michael!

It ends when they AND their stuff is removed to the level that allows you to begin the re-rental process. 

Leaving out auction and foreclosure costs for a second, when you write that check for $220k the trustee is going to pay BigBadBank the $175k they are owed first, then he's going to pay LittleBadBank the remaining $45k, and you will get a clean title as the process is going to wipe the slate clean.

But I generally don't find that clients need to spend that much money on the process when some simple coaching can make them comfortable in their search.

A new build needs to perform better than that to make it worth your time, all the risks and capital concentration.thanks for the advice everyone and would be happy to connect with you: @Bryant Brislin @Dave Wells @Leilah Davis @Joshua Stewart I have been building 15 to 20 spec houses a year now for 7 or 8 years..Just curious, generally from start to finish, from closing on buying the land to collecting a check after building the house and after escrow, how long is the process taking you? 

Now you repeat that process until it's paid off.Disadvantages:It took a while for me to set up.Bank account is always low, lol.People can spend a lot with that amount of credit.People think I'm weird when I tell them DId you analyze what would happen if you moved all of that money you were using to pay off a heloc, not get a heloc and put that money in a treasury or other type of account that got you 6% interest or invest in an ETF or something lower risk?

I'm in the process of purchasing a STR and am intrigued by the 3-2-1 buy down. 1st year of the loan would be 4.5%, 2nd year 5.5%, 3rd year 6.5%, 4th year standard market rate.
