West coast is coming alive.I am across the water in Hawaii.

As of now im only birddogging but if i can convince the owners to sell, I will definitely buy one (or maybe both) for myself... assuming there is no major damage to the house.

Like a bad roof, obvious mold or water leaking issues that could cause mold, known asbestos removal requirements, foundation problems, furnace or boiler replacement.

I think this is what All Cash is alluding to.Hopefully, you have a detailed list of damages that you incurred as the result of this deadbeat tenant.

Check your lease, but it sounds like the owner is giving appropriate notice about terminating the lease, and the requests for access.You absolutely should get your secuirty deposit back, unless there are damages that are subtracted from it.

I'm thinking letting them know that I'm not renewing the lease will just make them care even less about paying the rent and causing damage on a monthly basis.

I evicted some tenants after not getting paid for 3 months in April and immediately filed in small claims for damages.

I went by to look at it and its a definite fixer upper. 2/1 replaced roof but has interior ceiling damage.

Is there water availabe?

but in La it's easy to get more than 20% b/c of all the damage thanks to katrina. the sellers here are stubborn though..i know a $5k or 7k deal has been done here and there(i'm still working on my first) but, and i don't care what anyone says, wholesaling is easy in theory but difficult in practice..any Louisiana wholesalers on here wanna back me up on that?
