.- Take plenty of picture of your lawn, and his unit if possible, before and after his move- Pay someone (your retired or non-working tenant, ie) physically there to observe him when he moves his stuffs.- Begin laying out plans, either to evict or to recoup your loss due to the damage he will do to your property.

I haven't necessarily solely rehabbed a property but I've helped and observed my dad rehab our past two homes as well as indirectly rehab an apartment in Poland.I don't have much money.

Hi I like to comment, if BP is about sharing and working together, why some people do not like to share their contacts and requesting a PM to share regular information. this is a great community not a proprietary corporate information. just an observation.

In any event, Inspectors and appraisers are observing/inspecting current conditions and giving an approximate opinion on the life span of whatever they are looking at.  

I've also noticed this observation and I believe the prices are high up because of these education, the jobs and the low demand within the city.

You will need to comply with federal, state, and local laws for your jurisdiction.Few questions/observations/comments:Was the tenant renting a room only or an entire place?

Be cognizant of values.Preview, if you can, all houses that are scheduled for trustee sale or drive to the house take pictures and preview the neighborhood.Attend 50 Foreclosures Auctions at the court house, add information to your journal, observe bidders (when they bid, how often, where do they stand, to they talk to the trustee or auctioneer) always listen and take notes, retain a copy of the auction and the foreclosure notice, estimate the final hammer price to see how close you were to guessing it.Meet others at the F/C auction, collect cards.

I'm curious @Dave Olverson and @Randy E. and others that contributed, if you were to update your thoughts on Durham 3 years later, what would your thoughts and observations on Durham be now?  

I agree it makes much more sense to invest in Midwest than in the Bay Area.However, just an observation.
