also noting most people arent' aware but the credit score run by a mortgage lender and say a general lender like a bank are actually going to be different scores (and likely slightly different ranges) - with some greater weights on mortgage debt for the mortgage lender Credit Bureau settings

I've been diving into real estate for about 10 years now, starting with reading all the books I could get my hands on.

As an agent who works with a lot of investors, I have recently started to notice more and more that people will evaluate a property based on its current metrics, and write it off.

When tapping into your home’s value, you have two main options: a home equity loan and a HELOC (home equity line of credit).

(Couldn’t really afford the place, didn’t have good enough credit to be worried about an eviction, etc etc..)2) They should have posted a 5-7-10 (depending on local laws) to “pay or quit” as soon as the ent was late and started eviction.

I would focus on abandonment.

Again, I give them the line and tell them the previous owner is responsible for all assessments during their ownership period. 

You can't do any work on the property yourself, you must outsource everything.

To invest in Richmond, join REIAs, engage on social media, attend events, learn from resources, connect with agents, explore neighborhoods, and connect with professionals for appreciation, rental demand, and strong cash flow.Good Luck!
