Quote from @Lindsey Buxton: Want to level up your passive investing game?

When I was young in the game.  

If the letter doesn't get responded to, the lender will call the note due and start a foreclosure.Lenders aren't stupid and they don't play games with their money.

With your handyman skills and experience managing a rental, you’re already ahead of the game. 

It’s been a total game changer for us.

You control the conversation, not them.Bottom line: Maintain control, play the long game, and don’t let emotions dictate strategy.

I think I have a healthy risk tolerance, I just like to have a game plan when I take action.

But, in my opinion, the nonaccredited offerings are generally pretty poor (sponsors generally don't have full real estate cycle experience, higher expenses, fees and promotes charged to the investors, less or no skin-in-the-game, etc).

If there is no motivation to keep their credit in line or salvage their financial future, they might just be OK with waiting things out and roll the dice.This is a numbers game so you'll want to have several potential sellers in your follow-up at any given time.You should also connect with attorneys experienced in short sales and pre-foreclosures to leverage their experience and knowledge.

Looking for some advice (or your checklist, that would be cool) from PMs who have been in the game for a while.My current checklist consists of general move-out requirements (keys, forwarding address etc.), cleaning, utilities, yard and exterior, final walk through prep, and documentation.
