Making educated judgements about this investment is essential.One of the major up-front expenses is the down payment.

Fast forward one month due to some delays and I received judgement for possession as well as a money judgement for the unpaid rent. 

The judgement of foreclosure is dated 9/25/23.

@Hiren Patani Make sure the process will end in a judgement or you take the next step and file for a judgement, it differs by area. 

I have a judgement against a past tenant for past due rent and court costs.

Person harmed already filed lis pendens - they have to prove the case then get judgement then lien the property but the filing holds up refinancing or selling. 

If your leasing to people that have no fear of collections, judgement or garnishment, well ya better be johnny-on-the-spot with enforcement actions to mitigate loss exposure, and know you will be paying some water bills.     

Go figure.We objected to our insurance companies offer to settle for short money as inadequately protecting my interests in terms of rising rates and having to report an adverse civil judgement.

I would like to collect on a judgement I won.thank you in advance for any advices,Wu

Ask a lot of people and use your own judgement.
