I sent out a few handwritten letters to my top tier wants today.

the comm. taxes are higher but you can fight those down sometimes when you convert to residential ... confirm this before you jump here... also look for a multifamily designation on a single family home...a ranch with a basement or crawlspace where you can turn it into a duplex... here i can go on city zoning maps and pick out the areas with multifamily zoning and focus in those areas.... lastly if you see a building in an area you like look up the owners on the assessor's site and mail a letter to them and ask if you could buy it.   

Would you send a letter or go to the door, or call on the phone? 

Things like fungus damage of the subfloor, support posts in the crawlspace in soil contact, hairline cracks, and (scariest to me) no foundation on a portion of the structure though majority is pier and block.  

I'll cut to the chase:3b/2ba each unit (built as a duplex so mirror images of each other)Listed for 80kPurchase price- 70k (seller paid closing costs) with 20%down ($14k)Rent- 650/unitPITI- approx $500/monthNeighborhood- C+ to B (about a block and half from a very nice park but with some rundown houses on the block.

If that person cannot meet the 3x rule, then send them the "not qualified" letter.

The one that calls the city had a car that was gutted and on blocks and i had to force him to get rid of it because the city found it while doing my bi yearly inspections.

I'm around this week and I live about 3 blocks from your hotel.

There was no lease In place & I have requested them to move out a month ago with a formal eviction letter.

Typically, the first step is a phone call to the tenant and owner and if that doesn't work a warning letter is usually sent.
