I don’t know your exact situation, but in your shoes I might pursue the refinance option first and then equity buyout second.

Install cameras and exterior lighting on timers, place no trespassing signs, and place items that indicate occupancy - like a BIG dog bowl near the front door, shoes, etc. 

In short, by listening to your clients and providing a great service, you will make a profit. 

HI @Ananth SubramanianI have not been in your shoes but have read others that have and from what it sounds like getting the judgement is the easy part and physically collecting the $$ from the tenants is the hardest most impossible part.

When somebody asks for advice, I always try to put myself in their shoes and understand who they are and what their objectives are so I tried to do that with you with the little amount of info I could garner from your profile.

Hello,Just wanted to introduce myself as I have been a long term podcast listener and reader.

I listen to the problem solving episodes for the same reasons I read forum posts.

I have been a podcast listener since 2011 and a forum browser since 2020!

If in your shoes, I'd be sorting my marketing strategy, and jazzy ways to do my frunishings, marketing budget, how to Gorilla the hell out of it.

I joined this forum to connect with others, learn from those who’ve been in my shoes, and maybe even find people to partner with in the future.If you’ve got any tips, especially around raising capital or structuring your first deal, I’d love to hear them!
