We found the Elysian Fields Ave property through a direct seller connection, leveraging our network to secure a favorable purchase price.

I have similar aspirations and I'd love to connect.

Typically, newer comps close for more than older comps per appreciation/inflation.

If you want to network or ask specific questions about your local market, go to your local real estate forum and connect with investors from your area: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/86-local-real-estate-networking5.

so just make sure you're not excluding properties because you're looking for 'cash flow.' that's not the point of a house hack, the point is to build equity.off market deals - you can go direct to owner or connect with wholesalers and others that surface off market deals. 

From what I can tell, you were able to obtain default judgment, as the tenant did not timely respond to the court notice, and subsequently you obtained final judgment for possession (signed by a judge and entered into official record by the clerk.)As far as I would think, the legal matter was closed/adjudicated at that time - any lawyer potentially about to take the case to represent the tenant/defendant should have seen it that way in the system.

I believe in the power of networking and sharing knowledge, and I’m eager to connect with fellow investors to explore potential collaborations and opportunities.Feel free to reach out if you’d like to chat or meet up!

As someone who tracks their loan closing data, I see that currently about 65% of my business is some kind of cash out for investors. 

Most simply don't have it and or also have very limited sales and closings skills ..
