Is it better to respond legally or simply to fill out the form. 

Thanks in advance to anyone who responds!

There are some real advantages to investing close to home, especially for your first property:- You know the area better- It's easier to manage and check on the property yourself- You can respond quickly to issues- You'll have a better network of local contractors, realtors, etc.That said, if the numbers really make sense in Conway or Titusville/Melbourne, it's not impossible to invest out-of-state.

Quote from @Jackson Ebersole: Hi Piper,It's always smart to flip properties in-state, and I'd like to share some updated insights on why this approach is beneficial, especially in the New Jersey area.Lenders typically feel more comfortable with in-state flips because:You can manage the rehab more easilyYou have better knowledge of local real estate trends and valuesYou can respond quickly to issues or make decisions fasterThere's a lower risk of fraud or being taken advantage of by distant partnersI can help you with recommendations for the New Jersey market:North Bergen: Continues to show strong potential, with average profits now around $150,000 per flip and a gross ROI of 85%.Willingboro: While specific flip numbers aren't available, the market remains active with a gross ROI now averaging around 130%.Gloucester City: Still a top performer, with gross ROI hovering around 180-190%, though still on smaller profit margins.Irvington: Home values have continued to rise, with a 20% increase over the past two years.East Orange: Has seen steady growth, with home values up by about 16% since 2022.Paterson: Experienced a 14% increase in home values over the last two years.Additionally, Jersey City and Newark have emerged as promising markets for flips, with strong appreciation rates and growing demand.

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.

@Mason MorelandOkay I see, thank you for responding sir

I tried USPS bulk and that proved to be non-effective in my case.It was not my experience that I needed to do 7 mailers to get people to respond.

I gave them a review on yelp and one of the agents responded to the post.

I got an email last night that you had responded to something I said.
