If you want to be in this game for the long profitable haul you need to make sure your properties align with your numbers, otherwise when the market hits a snag you may not be able to come out of the trenches in one piece.I remember when my husband and I went to bid at our first auction sale (we had attended several auctions before to get a feel of the atmosphere) I had an excel sheet for the property I was interested in and detailed profit/loss for every $5k increment of bid.

I don't have his contact information handy but if you PM me I'll find it for you.I can also vouch for @Christian Carson as an excellent real estate attorney.

I wish to put a bid on a property but it currently has tenants in place.My question is if I win the auction and get the house, what is the best way to evict the tenants.  

@William Tong I use an excel sheet, nothing crazy.

For a dulpex, with two one bedroom apartments (900sq/ft each) monthly bill is about $60.00.I will put all the numbers I have into a excel sheet (calculator) and figure out if this is a good property to buy and hold.

"Lose to win".

This is a fairly simplified example but I think it illustrates the point.Good luck, and yes leverage your relationships to create win-win scenarios.

You should give @James Miller a vote for his accurate and excellent advice.
