Always been rare we foreclose as most file but lately it seems like they are really waiting till the last second  there are a few reasons this happens or things that have happened to me personally when I was quite active in courthouse steps.1. late BK  sale is at 10am and BK filed at 9am that morning or 4pm the night before.

Besides, they often see it from their personal angle, because they satisfy material participation as sponsors.

@Rory SweeneyI personally use Buildium in partnership with my CPA and book keeper!

I know people are doing it and some successfully but I don't know if the conditions here make sense for me to invest personally... yet.

I personally would avoid adding 36k minus a 30k just to avoid scrutiny by the IRS.

This was actually a referral from another person I had bought a house from.this one was pretty easy.  

Needless to say the relationship didn’t work so I had decided to sell the property but came to find out when someone wanted to buy it there was another persons name on the title that dated back to  when my father purchased it.

So, if you're discussing business matters with your property manager or realtor during a meal, those expenses could potentially be deductible.Be mindful of distinguishing between personal and business expenses.

I, too, aim to be as accommodating to residents as possible.However...For my own liability protection and personal sanity, I'll only schedule our group viewings for when the resident can be physically present.For one thing, I'm a digital nomad (currently living in Colombia), so I'm likely never going to be conducting their viewing myself.But mostly, I don't want a resident claiming that some priceless heirloom went missing or got damaged after holding a showing in their absence.We'll pick a convenient time, typically 1 hour on a Saturday afternoon, and set appointments for up to 6 pre-screened buyers to take a look.

I would have to take out a personal loan plus some cash reserves but I honestly think that this deal is worth it.
