I hope I'm not too late to the party, but I'm currently working on a documentary on the "Mobile Home Queen" and her accomplices.

While you shouldn’t categorize all tenants and it’s the landlords responsibility to properly screen, the tenants who reside in better situated housing and pay higher rents are more financially responsible meaning lower rate of rent loss and will generally take better care of the property which combined will result in less time allocated towards management functions if self-performed or more favorable management fee structures if 3rd party management companies are utilized (which ties back to #1, as well).

Interested parties can search public records to discover any lis pendens that indicate a home is in the pre-foreclosure stage.Notice of sale: A notice of sale informs a property owner that their bank or lender intends to sell their property because they are in default.

@Jaime Farias I think part of the problem is the learning curve of all the other involved parties.

My biggest piece of advice is to connect with local chicago real estate investors in person...highly suggest checking out the christmas party on 12/12:  https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/521/topics/1218823-chic...
