The first book I ever read on investing was The Intelligent Investor (written by Warren Buffett's mentor) and there is very strong admonishment against IPO investing, if memory serves.

Google blocked the link since it wasn't secure which is a bit concerning:  https://www.achieversinrealest...It appears to be a real estate conference, yet the email came to my @WishGranters.org email account since I am their Vice President and serve on their Board of Directors.

I served them a 3 day notice to quit and the tenant said his lawyer will contact me and he is claiming he was in the hospital for heat exhaustion from the apartment being 100 degrees (he has 2 air conditioners).

I’d like to find a non-qualifying mortgage lender who serves Georgia, but I can’t seem to find one that is truly “no documentation” needed.  

When can I serve the notice to quit? 

Upon the close of escrow, I would serve the non-paying tenant cash for keys along with a letter explaining the ownership change and that you would like to discuss mutually beneficial options up to and including cash for keys arrangement and take it from there.

The two of you are still personally liable for the debt and the property still serves as collateral.Check with your lender first though.

The notice must be served at least 90 days in advance.

When a tenant died, if the family of the deceased were to have an estate opened up and a Personal Representative (in some states this is called an executor) were appointed, the manager could simply deal with the Personal Representative, agree that the unit was abandoned or surrendered, serve notices on the Personal Representative or actually file an eviction on the deceased tenant through the Personal Representative.
