With a second cause you sue for delinquent rent, late fees, damage, et al.You can file a first cause alone, a second cause alone, or a combined first and second.My question:  If you plan on filing a second cause (i.e. the deadbeat renter is gone and you have possession), how do you find out where he is to serve him the court summons? 

Live there until once again see #1.4. 1031 into passive NNN commercial or fractional passive real estate that becomes your retirement plan until.....Yep see #1.You can live tax deferred but you gotta die to be tax free!

bottom line is plan for the worse hope for the best.

this could be a good solution but you should still at least break even with LTRs as a backup plan. note that even a breakeven deal is only breakeven for a short time. rents go up, mortgage goes down. you could also start looking offmarket!

A few of the reasons I’m planning to do this are. 1.  

I’m a real estate attorney who has helped clients with large master planned developments (single family, multi family, commercial).

The build costs have to correct or the land prices do, we don't have much of this inventory on the horizon either with the general plan.

My current plan is to schedule a basement specialist to come out and give a quote/inspection.

We plan to move from here to a bigger place regardless, which could make the rent closer to 4000/month.
