I have to say, I'm pretty shocked that a company with a business model designed to degrade the quality of two deals at once while filtered money to themselves would be unethical in their execution of this model.Caveat Emptor.  

Brilliant and well executed idea!

The central dashboard is a nice feature along with the revenue management and automated messaging (when it works) the integration with platforms like pricelabs and beyond pricing isn’t there yet, as well as task delegation for staff such as area managers and cleaners.

You should have a fully executed contract that you have reviewed with the tenant and performed walk through, this is also the best time to lay out expectations.

He had a man that was never even a tenant (they had just filed eviction papers on the girlfriend) burst into his office screaming and threatening his staff. 

This is something that most CPAs know about but don’t do for their clients because they don’t have the engineers and expertise on staff to do it.

Specifically, how did the collapse of the housing market/prices affect you personally if you were executing a buy and hold strategy at the time of the collapse? 

Unless of course you save up major for all the difference.I think you should hold on to your FHA loan a little longer than a year and when you have 6 to 12 months in reserves execute the VA purchase.Also consider a conventional loan for 3% down.  

There are many that bought 2 years ago or a year ago, thinking it was one of those opportunities, only to find further retraction of prices.Anyone who bought two years ago and is getting positive cash flow, has their tenants paying down their mortgage, was able to resell for a profit, etc, executed on a great buying opportunity.

Hey BP,So say I was to purchase a non-performing note, and ended up having to foreclose on the property...What would be the ballpark costs associated to execute the foreclosure?
