I need to get my feet underneath me before I can run swiftly

turn of the century land speculators... these properties have been turned over and over for 100 years or more.its the just the greater fool theory is all it is.. preying on those not so swift and a lot of foreigners.

Requires swiftness, creativity, and a good agent that can help seperate your offer from the multitude of others (if finding on market deals).You definitely have a better chance breaking into the higher end flip market (distressed purchase $400k+).

This is usually a 3 week process as the court gives the tenant an opportunity to respond to your complaint, before setting a court date.If it is for nonpayment, the judge should make a swift decision as there really is no answer to defend nonpayment.Best of luck to you.

*Cough cough* Do you know of agent that can present such opportunities in that area for a swift deal and turnaround exit?

Now Moving swiftly through due diligence.BTW - I heard you and Jake speak on older GRE podcast. 

Nothing quite compares to self-managing, in terms of attention to detail, swiftness in turnover, etc., but if you are not going to be local and thus cannot self-manage, Haven is suitable in the Cleveland market.

The new management company found additional very significant neglected repairs in the same unit and in a few of my other rentals, too.I managed to work it out with the tenants (expressing my tremendous sincere remorse and shame, switching management companies, and starting a swift repair), but of course I'm concerned this would happen again.

Thank you for swift response .
