@David Veeder, thank you for the outstanding and thorough response.  

If there was a lot of returned addresses or high response rates?

How would a bank appraise it for financing purposes?

However, in order to initiate a "rent strike" and not pay rent, at least in Texas, there are specific notification and response windows that have to be met (by the tenant) and failed (by the landlord) before the tenant can take any of this action.If you have your requests and invoices for the efforts to remedy the situations, if the issues named were never reported, and If the report appears retaliatory in intent, you're probably in good shape.

So as I'm processing everyone's responses, here are my challenges (in my head):1.

I appreciate the swift response.

For those familiar with a contract for deed/land contract, what is the sale date for county record purposes?

If you liked the forum response I just posted a blog post that was inspired by my comment here.

I don't door knock anymore or wholesale on purpose, but I do mail pre-foreclosures and vacant, high-grass houses.To get a letter or postcard from me, the pre-foreclosure must have equity.
