To be safe, you may wish to:- sell the property at a public sale- publish notice of the sale in a prominent place, including a newspaper with daily, local circulation, and-send the tenant a final notice that states where and when you will sell the property.If the tenant owes you money for back rent, property damage, or reasonable storage costs -- and the tenant’s security deposit didn’t cover everything -- you can take the balance out of the sale proceeds.

Sometimes I think it all feels like a digital version of life here on BP, so it was nice to see you all in real life :)@Fred Canzano where you there?

Depending on your appetite for risk you can invest in non performing or performing.You do not have to deal with tenants, toilets or termites and can get double digit returns.

@Jose Castillo I'm in Los Angeles, so the info is not free for me to see online at the courthouse website or at the courthouse.For the areas I am interested in buying in, I get the local newspapers from those areas, those real small newspapers about 8-12 pages for the whole paper.

If it's out of state, you can order a digital subscription.Good Luck!

Back in my real estate advertising newspaper days (you know when newspapers were a cash cow and before the internet) we'd attend these conventions.

Just kidding, that's not a dig, it has to be located in a higher than normal appreciating market.)

I can do this from anywhere, don’t get calls about repairs needing to be done and get double digit returns with 50%+ equity in the properties.

The price is what's causing you to have single digit returns.

Says I need to post in 3 newspapers?
