You can fix up a property, but It takes a lot more to fix up a neighborhood.Go to the police department and a call report for the area.

Didn't even call the police.

Call the cops and make a police report, then call the attorney.....

I was just curious if anybody has ever had any luck with filing a police report for something such as vandalism or the like for a tenant who has trashed their property....I do plan on continuing with the eviction process and reporting to the credit bureau....This property is in Texas if that matters to anyone.

Just make sure you're licensed or someone you're with is licensed in case the neighbors call the police

If not, the police would tow them away in my area.One of my friends built a spec and there was a beater parked next door.

I’m honestly also subjective on this topic threadssince being a Wisconsin residentIf I was living somewhere else I would consider per Marco advice Indiana , Wisconsin , Texas and possibly Carolinas for leveraging your moneyMaybe have your relatives / old associatestake turn taking exterior photos every several months( beside solely trusting property manager pictures)Make sure you keep eye out for building code violationsProperty manager email you his/her photos ever few months( repairs of work started / completed )Give local police district your telephone number, so you notified of any issues at the propertiesVisit your potential properties maybe at least once every 3 months ( spring , summer , and winter )Approval all marketing your property manager publishCollect rent on-line for tenantsAlways have several exit strategies

I think my long term goal is to buy some of the boarded up apartments rehab them and make them into low income housing.So far I have went down to the police station to do a freedom of information act to get detailed descriptions of various calls and reports made to individuals who live in the surrounding area.

I'm actually wondering specifically what time I should post up the signs.I wasn't sure if the police could ticket me or anything during the day?

As for as mortgages and other liens, tax deeds wipe all prior interests (with a few exception, IRS liens, municipal "police and welfare power" liens).
