I don't know of anyone who has used "self-help eviction" tactics and paid a penalty for it.Here is a strategy from one of my colleagues from our local rental association....

I am a commercial apartment investment associate.

Only vague memory of someone who remembers something.Original inspector for that case is no longer with the city.No one else remembers.I went to their permits section and pulled their permits, but nothing turned up except a scan of old survey which is no longer legible for the most part.Then I went to the property appraiser's office and asked if they have records of the property's square footage record over the years.

You have come to the right place for all your RE education.You can meet fellow Atlanta RE investors/professionals at Georgia Real Estate Association http://gareia.org/ or Atlanta Real Estate Investors Alliance http://atlantareia.com/In addition, there are some meet ups that you could attend as well.Wish you the very best.

You should check out the Central Florida Realty Investors association (cfri.net).

I would be happy to discuss the associated costs but suffice it to say many locations in Baltimore City do support rehab projects.

According to surveys, most major improvements cost more than they help the value.

From the associates I trust and work with in my office the best advice I can give regarding contact with the seller is stay in touch.

If you are the owner of the land, the developer, anyone associated with the project from design through construction, it's a great project.

The realtor asked me to sign a contract prepared by him using a PA realtor association contract which lists me as a consultant paid by the seller.
