If you're interested in learning more, I wrote a whole book on finding your niche (which talks about interviewing mentors) and being a successful real estate investor.

When I am not turning wrenches I am in the books going to school studying aeronautics as well as studying everything I can about real estate.

I listened to Dave's book in the car but haven't had the time to fully process the information.

It's partially the reason I decided to finally hop on the forums and start contributing so thank you sir!

After fixing/flipping and writing notes on half a dozen mobile homes, we finally have our first non-payer. 

Listening to the podcasts, and reading the forums and books etc., has changed my mindset and with each listen or read it only increases away from the way I used to understand money. 

bank owned are tough... they go through SOOO many stages and long time spans before they finally take that offer. 

I also understand that banks might be more willing to deal at the end of the quarter or year - the fewer properties on their books, the better for their balance sheet.

I don't have any earth shattering secrets you can't find in books, but I can share actual experiences, timelines, prices, rehab costs, insurance costs, rental roles, property management and tips for how I've created a 19 unit portfolio worth almost $1M and generating over $100k annually inside my IRA, starting from a relatively small initial investment.  

Finally since he paid/trying to pay can I continue with the eviction process?
