It's helpful to network with people that are actively involved.

You shorten the learning curve working with someone who's actively doing it.

I came across this while searching BP for other members in the Grayson County area - if you’re still active in the area, I’d love to connect and hear what you have going on!

However, if I talk to them and they don't fix it or they actively avoid me, the next month I mail and post on their door the same letter with the appropriate eviction or termination notice with the opportunity to cure the problem.

Doug I have met many mainly when I bought their home at auction because they let their kids borrow against it and blow the money.and of course in my 30 plus years of loaning HM I have seen a bunch of this activity over the years.18 months ago I had a wholesaler contact me ( which is rare because I generally wont talk to them)  but he got through to me and it was a property in Charleston SC were I build.. and the price was right .. but when I did a quick title search I saw that he had recorded a power of attorney for this lady that spelled out that he could sell the house and pay her 100k  and he was offering it to me for 196k.. so I called him on it.. and said hey there.. this lady obviously does not know what she has  the value is in the lot.. so no real up side as is unless you build a new home so for me to buy it at 196 was about market..
