Among other things, it keeps you focused on "the prize", and away from detours chasing "shiny objects of distraction".Go ahead an bounce your plan off me if you like.

Tell her to show up at certain date/time and that if she doesn't you will return her deposit and find another tenant.Show her you are the boss, you make the rules or she should find another property.She will fall in line or part ways, either way you win.

You start a battle & to win the battle you need to evict them, which means you lost the battle because now you have an eviction cost, lost rent, turnover cost & new leasing cost.

Keys to picking a winning tax deed and or lien.

See what their cash price is and if you can get it to them for 50% of that you can keep anything else and everyone wins.  

Have confidence in what your doing and try to create win-win situation for all the parties involved.

You have caught it by the handle, preventing a disaster and winning a long term JV partner in the end!

For all of these reasons, we felt confident that if we could get it for the right price, it would be worth the risk to bid without seeing the inside.We've been outbid on 3 properties in the last 3 weeks, so we didn't go in with very high hopes of winning.

It seems to me that if you work really hard and do your best that it could be a win-win for many.Thanks!

I think when I was in my 20s, there was a certain reckless abandon that helped me win big on certain deals (deals that I wouldn't do now that i am older and more cautious) and taken on big losses.
