Not an attorney and don't know the rules in your area, but I would think it's good to go.I'd probably just take a video of me entering the property, in case they come at me for "kicking them out" when they're not even there, (or if they're still in there and try to shank me...)

Though I have learned that the deal I was looking for POF, is a bit of a dead lead without straight cash.

What am I missing in the process that leads to these properties being risky purchases at the online auction or from the MLS due to actionable liens?  

Depending on your strategy sites like those may be fine for some strategies, but for qualified leads you need better data or you'll spend much of your time running in circles.Also, even with the better data, it can be challenge reaching some distressed owners for  a litany of reasons.  

My question is, who here has left their 9-5 and had success or failure and can you give advice towards the what lead to your outcome?

I have been learning about RE investing through podcasts and youtube videos and BP for the past year and a half and I'm finally ready to get things rolling.

Hi BP - I have a couple of leads on multi-family properties in the Denver Metro area that I am working on.

I didn’t write the whole conversation out that I had with her but it did lead me to believe she was legitimate.

They do some lead generation to help new agents, which the boutique firm does not.

In other words, prospects are cold/warm and leads are hot.
