Best of luck on your journey—your approach is strong, and with persistence, you’ll be well on your way to achieving your goals!

There is still a risk: You do not have the right outprice and lose money, your deal goes south due to unfound things when you bought it, then the rehab phase brings them up, and you spend more, and the market changes, which is something that can happen on a moment's notice.

I served 5-day notice on the 10th, and lease spells out that eviction process will begin on the 15th, which is Wednesday. 

There is no point in talking to them when they are just hit with foreclosure notice.

If the Warranty Deed has been properly recorded, the court deems that, as "constructive notice".

.: I haven't really noticed any change at all in my market except minor changes to the standard contracts (minor language changes in contract to buy and sell, listing agreement, and buyer's agency agreement). 

Class D is mostly rentals (another tip to look at owner occupied stats and/or if the neighborhood is identified for revitalization), the tenants are outside smoking, they are talking to neighbors and solicitors, it is a completely different vibe that is pretty noticeable just driving through.

Sure, we can say we have a 98% rent collection rate or that most tenant placements average 27 days etc etc but notice the "most" or "average".

I also noticed you left out an option to park that money in index funds and let it grow.

I noticed on the city website that it can only be done in certain areas, which I'm more than fine with.
