After my analysis, I realized that getting my license was a better fit with a faster way to generate money.One of the events I co-host as a class on Door Knocking this Wednesday: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/521/topics/60...I discussed the marketing for my Vegas buddy in this thread: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/48/topics/574...If you ever want to grab coffee, let me know!

The June meeting had 62 people representing  over 1,500 rental doors - about $100,000.000 in market value.

PPS - the house is vacant and has an "unsafe" notice on the door.

I currently have 7 properties (21 doors) in Dallas, Austin, Los Angeles, and Phnom Penh.

Ultimately it may be in your best interest to take care of it and may be required by law depending on the state.Rats don't squeeze in under a door, not a normal door at least, so I would first make sure that all outside cracks, crevices and holes are filled up, especially in a crawl space to prevent anymore from getting in.Then, again it really depends on the state laws, but after my due diligence is done sealing up the up the outside and inside of any places a rat could get in I would think about telling the tenant that they can buy rat traps or whatever they want to use to get rid of what's is inside and I will reimburse them the cost with a recipe, I would only do this if I felt comfortable with local laws otherwise I would just hire a pest control person to take care of it.

Hy Patrick, I curently own a tripkex in Quebec city (house hacking it) and plan to buy a lot more doors in the next years.

Have partnerships left a bad taste in your mouth or opened up doors to success for you?

Secondly, there isn't anything wrong with knocking on someone's door or approaching them in a public place.

Researching this property, I found that their are two properties on the block that are in the process of being rehabbed, but there are also 4-6 other properties that are either REO or in pre-foreclosure, some, right not door to one another.My thought is that these are all properties that I can acquire at a low cost, rehab, rent, and then refinance to return the capital.Is there something I am missing, or any reason I should be concerned that there are so many REOs and foreclosures on the same block? 

Proximity is a huge driver for students.
