If you haven't read "Rich Dad Poor Dad" that would be my first recommendation before doing anything lol.

Have you read the book rich dad poor dad?

Unfortunately since it is an REO, there is no direct line of communication established already and he is supposedly living outside the US. 

Originally posted by @Rich Bultema:I'll chime in, my realtor called me this morning actually about a property I have listed.She said she has received NO CALLS on her other properties since our state's stay at home order and that the only call on mine was a guy with a terrible low ball offer from a couple weeks ago that wanted to remind me that he was still interested.Said she was looking into unemployment??

I wouldn't reach out to them constantly and overwhelm them, but definitely try to keep the lines of communication open.

Remember, it's a get rich SLOW reality, quick money comes via lottery or robbery, and REI ain't either my friend. 

It is more peaceful here without  five new threads a week about people wanting Brian Page advice or see an article and now want advice on how they can rapidly Arb and scale their way to riches in 2 years.

I started with Rich Dad Poor Dad, Increase your financial IQ, Millionaire next door, etc etc.

After a year of communicating with him and doing research on him (but obviously not enough), I finally went in on a deal with him.

However, what might be the case is the tenant can see they are going to struggle to pay and are further struggling to communicate that with you.
