Is he running a very established business, lots of web presence, social media, referrals through “next door” type boards, to go after in small claims court.

Hi there,I'm about to close on my first property (6 doors) and am realizing that I don't know how to collect rent in a convenient fashion for the tenants.

I have access to RPR.com to run the numbers, I'm trying to figure out how I can do a CMA for the vacant lots to figure out how much they are worth.

I'd run rental comps in the area for similar homes and see what they average out at, and be conservative initially expecting the lower end of what you find so you can give yourself some wiggle room.

However, if you have a set strategy, and that is all you do, I suggest taking the time to shop lenders yourself and find one that works best with your strategy as it will save you a lot of money in the long run.

Hello,I just found out my tenant is running his own barber shop out of my home.  

Run a professional operation, have your business rules in place, and follow them.You'll be much happier in the long run.

Traditional loans dont usually work with investment properties, as far as I have seen.Plus it seems like most refinance and even HELOC loans I have found for investment properties are running around 15-20% interest.

I think what you are really asking is help running the numbers.

Don't go for a home-run swing on your first property.
