There are nice properties in the MF space being sold and bought multiple times a month. 

I bought the condo in 2011 when it was common to see properties for less than $100,000.

But I am brand new in the business.  

She got some sort of settlement a couple years ago and bought this little house for 26k cash.

Last year we bought a condo in Valencia here. 

Because of BP and the networking I have done I bought my first small MF about a year and a half ago in an area near me with virtually no money out of pocket and now recycling those cash flows I am in process to buy three more out of state.

Our tenants just moved out and left our home dirty with stained carpet (which was brand new when they got there) lots of scratches on the wood floor, holes in the walls, chipped paint and large scratches in walls.

@Mark Ainley the first commercial property we bought the seller informed me there was a tenant who would be problematic.

So I did some research and found that if you bought a tax deed property then you would actually own the property free and clear.

While many people disagree with me, I recommend to newer investors to either buy a performing note or JV with someone on their first deal if its non-performing because you will realize there is a lot of time involved and ancillary costs (such as you order the title report and there is a fatal defect on title - you may have just dropped $250 and not bought an asset).
