We don't even have the choice to have the tenant pay. 

Nothing has changed.Your choices include:Pulling files yourself and entering the data in a database or Excel filePaying someone else to do the above for youFind a data list provider An alternative to looking for probates is to market for other characteristics and deal with the probates as they come.

Installing a new glass block window in the main hallway bathroom really added a nice touch, but the tile choices from Home Depot are what really put the upstairs bathroom “over the top.”

I realize there are several Pro's and Con's to each but one point that stands out to me the most with the 4 unit is spreading out the risk of vacancy over 4 units as opposed to 1 or 2 (depending on if the property is owner occupied)  Is there one you feel would be more beneficial to own as a new investor entering the Real Estate market?

From my reading I think there are a few routes we can go and I would like anyones take on some of the better choices.1.

Great mortgage broker Andrew Chen at MPR financial Albany, CA (sorry no use to you) offered me a range of choices at 60% and 65%.Valuations were a bit lower than I would have liked, but kinda expected.I was very happy with the overall result... it is financing another property.

I'm very good at marketing and very good with communicating with people to get them in (I work as a CRM) so I feel this will be very beneficial but I am stuck where to go next.

@Joe Johnson If you have a choice, which it seems that you do, please do not use a quit claim deed.

You made the right choice by coming here!

I love everything about the world of Real Estate, but my passion is Property Management and currently all I deal with is Condo Associations, not my first choice, but it works.
