I was just laid off from my job, have severance and can collect unemployment for the next nine months which means I can throw myself into this business full time and really make some big moves.  

In 2026, I will begin collecting a pension.  

Since I live in Raleigh, I do not know much about the area and I'm hoping to find a connection to discuss the area that these properties are located.  2 of the homes are currently rented and the other is probably going to need extensive work or tear down.  

The process might be different on a single family collecting rent rather than an investment property. 

Usually it's a term used in the collection business for finding deadbeats in hiding, and here in the real estate business, owners of abandoned homes that disappeared and moved on.

It was nerve wracking, but we pulled of the HELOC while we were under contract and we were able to close after two extensions on the contract. 

Hi there,I'd be interested in the collective wisdom of the Bigger Pockets community on anything that might stand in the way of solving a problem for house rich/cash poor homeowners while giving investors a leveraged return on hot real estate markets. 

He leads an extensive discussion about the "entity" and the "institution" against him (which is the bank).

If they get well each month and aren't bad tenants in any other way, keep collecting the late fees making the extra income. 

I'm looking for a few options to do a competitive bidding process on the repair (I'm not sure how extensive the repair would be).Thanks in advance for any suggestions.David
