Some cases don’t make it to court, in that case mailing obituaries, asking estate sales or funeral homes for referrals are not bad ideas.

It sounds affordable and useful, and can save that much in a month or two safeguarding flips against bad contractors.

Hello, I currently own 2 rentals in Tyler TX, I have had bad experiences with residential rentals and am trying to move to commercial RE (no multifamily), I have a good opportunity but since it is my first acquisition I am trying to avoid making a mistake.

I'm seeing mixed reviews on the web so want to get input from fellow investors about good or bad experience they may have had with the company. 

I would never use a national resource for title searches unless it was a national title underwriter. all my note transactions are done by the local title company  No national vendors all fresh title I know most don't want to do this but I am not going to be that guy that gets a client into a bad title situation.. so we are over kill for sure as we order a new escrow on each note assignment.. but hey better safe than sorry when it comes to our investors dollars.

The tenants already there have bad habits and the old landlord likely let them do whatever and didn’t screen them like you would .

The ones that you heard got bad reviews are actually pretty good.

However, if the Ifinsurance company believes otherwise, see if they will pursue against the tenants, although I suspect they won’t ‘throw good money after bad.’

lets say in this market your actual cash on cash with quality assets is about 5 to 7% return I think that's pretty fair in todays market on 100k rentals.. so lets say 7%  of 25k.. give you 1700 a year in cash flow net.now lets say you bought a quality performing note secured on the exact same collateral.. only instead of investing 100% of value your the bank at 65%  so you loan 65k  your spent 75k on your down payments to generate 3X 1700 a year.and your performing NOTE on the exact same assets  at 65k is making 9%  which is quite doable.. so roughly 5900 a year in come on your note.. and you have ZERO cost to your note.. its just pays every month.. into your account.. so take your 5900  and 3X 1700 5100  that's 11k a year .. pay down one 75k note you will pay this off in about 7 years .your note at 65% LTV being interest only is still worth 65k.. its just a cash flow machine.. and now your free and clear asset just dropped a 500 a month payment ( just spit balling.. ) now you have another 16k a year to pay down your next note which has been paid down to say 65k with normal payments so in 5 years that's paid for then you do the next one and its paid for in 4 year lets say.. so in about 16 years you now have 3 paid for houses and your 65k note as its still an interest only note.. and its all equity.you income on those three homes and your note.. brings you up to about 3k a month or so.. and its all paid for. not a bad use of 150k to start with.. and pretty manageable for home.Or you could just buy 3 notes to start with making 14k a year in income and save it for 5 to 6 years and pay cash for homes going forward.. few ways to work it.. 

I moved up here in 2015 from NYC too, it was the best choice I've ever made.
