Since the hurricane last year, I have noticed people who claim to be "contractors" are sometimes simply a man with a truck and a clipboard for the written estimate. 

Pre foreclosure lists have always interested me but after speaking to a few high level investors I noticed because of certain policies most investors shy away from pre foreclosure.

You'll notice in business that you tend to get raked over the coals on the nice extra stuff you do or offer. 

I am interested in buying house that has a foreclosure notice on the door.  

Most likely, you have made at least a few noticeable changes since then.

I’m noticing in rougher areas of where I invest, a lot of landlords would rather set a low rent and provide a par or sub par product, and fix very little.

Also If any one entity owns greater than 10% of a project (50 unit project) based on your 5 retained, you're still not getting a Fannie or Freddie loan.  

In the example given, should the report prove to be accurate, you would serve the gun wheeling tenant with a eviction notice.

The real advantage to me with using cash or a Heloc is being able to buy the unfinancable or 'odd' property that doesn't fit Fannie criteria.However, there are lots of properties you can brrrr with a conventional loan. 

If I am going to remove her doorknob that I don’t have keys to, and put a plain ole doorknob there, do I need to post a 24 hour notice to enter the premises?
