@Alex TownsendWelcome to Bigger Pockets.

Recently I found bigger pockets through r/personalfinance and have been kicking myself for not figuring out that real estate investing is where I should have been years ago.

Both Zach Welner and Robbie Aurie are Bigger Pockets members.

Hello @Eddie Barker,Welcome to Bigger Pockets. 

Hello bigger pockets family!

Little to no prior REI experience.One thing I do have though is a good network of resources to get myself studied up.

But, unless they've been clear they're going to fight it all, I'd focus on the fastest path to getting them gone rather than trying to get all rent due.You've got bigger fish to fry with what sounds like a rehab project starting soon.

@Jason HarleyWelcome to Bigger Pockets.

Bigger discount rate (60-75% of note principal balance) will apply to notes that are: new note, no payment history, low interest rate under 7-8%, long term (over 15 years), paperwork issues (dod frank compliance for ex.), undesirable markets, long foreclosure states, and few others. 

Perhaps the best way to go would be to start with smaller multifamily deals,  build a track record,  and then go for the bigger deals.
