Because I have personally done both and continue to do it to add to my portfolio.

but if you say "can you walk 10 properties for me"... the answer is going to be no. 

Quote from @Wilson Lau: Quote from @Zhenyang Jin: Hi all,I under contracted one 6 units multifamily in Bay Area and doing commercial loan with Chase. 

Joe its all about NPV  and rate of return for investors.. either way your going to take a pretty big hair cut out of your equity to do what your wondering about. 

Some have closed deals, others have deals under contract, and any progress (big or small) is celebrated.    

You hired them to evict the tenant, so they should continue representing you until the tenant is out.

Here in Florida, you first obtain your RE license and work under a Broker for two years. 

Many purchase deals in the city/county of Los Angeles are still going through already.

Also, focus on 2 years of job/income stability.Class D Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, all cashflow with little, maybe even negative, relative rent & value appreciationVacancy Est: 20%+ should be used to cover nonpayment, evictions & damages.Tenant Pool: majority will have FICO scores under 560 (almost 30% probability of default), little to no good tradelines, lots of collections & chargeoffs, recent evictions.

So it was going to require more tenacity by you to get the deal sold either way.
