You will find that police are pretty nice people most of the time and when confronted with evidence and facts... they are usually pretty much just people...All said, doi whatever works for you.

I think I joined initially in 2013 and argued, had confrontations, and flat out told a bunch of people to go .... off somewhere and meant it.

I want to seek advice on a situation I am having in one of my properties in North Carolina.I inherited a tenant in a triplex that we acquired 4 years ago.At some point after we acquired the property, the tenant gets a dog.I advised the tenant that this is against the lease and they said they were just dog sitting.Several weeks ago, I confronted the tenant and they admitted it was their daughter's dog.

We aren’t hard arses, we prefer a softly softly approach that avoids confrontation and animosity, even though this particular tenant had brazenly breached the lease and potentially given us grounds to evict them.The tenant’s response?

I'm going to confront him and ask him if he wants to give me my money back or he can vacate the property.

Maybe confront her on how she got back inside after locking herself out and see if you can extract any additional info.If nothing else I'd use this occurrence as a great time to inform her and all other tenants that lock-outs are not your responsibility.

The neighbors describe this lady being in her 40s and quite aggressive/confrontational.

She chose to confront the situation and remind me later that it was absolutely not OK for that to happen.  

@Patrick Philip you just hit on the main issue that confronts aspiring investors.

I would bet that most states, when confronted with a factual scenario where a money judgment lien is perfected in the gap (after notices to junior lien holders are sent by the foreclosing lender, but prior to the auction sale) hold that the judgment lien is extinguished as to a bona fide purchaser regardless of whether actual notice of the sale was received.
