Seems like a longer process instead of directly filing a civil suit.

Not only can they help you out tremendously with advice that some charge thousands of dollars for but lots of times they can point you in the right direction as to who the real wholesale players in the market are.

If your light on cash you may want to learn how to wholesale or buy and flip first so you can get some working capital and a cushion.

As far as strategy there are a bunch but one I have used successfully is picking a market in transition and developing a direct mail campaign focusing on a limited area.

Both Quicken products do income and expense tracking for a Schedule C type business and allows TurboTax to import tax items directly from the Quicken database.

I was directed to this website and looking forward to networking with every member. 

Check license, check references, check insurance (From the insurance company directly), don't hire the lowest bidder, don't hire the contractor recommended by the wholesaler.

I am looking to invest in Camden New Jersey I was going to try some Direct Mail in this area has any investor had any luck

In Michigan, if you are an agent you can work directly for someone with a broker's license.  

As for your issues directly we also had this issue and was told by judge to push as hard as possible and show proof you advertised to fill it and do so as fast as you can otherwise you will be the loser but you will be able to collect if you do on the rent between move in and rerented.
