Three evictions in 17 years, rent collection is automatic via ACH, maintenance is always preventive so late night or emergency calls from tenants, etc.I have recently changed to having only one group showing a few weeks after the current tenant gives notice that they are moving out.

@Cyle HarrisPlacing a house under contract with no ability or intention to close is the root of the problem.

What is preventing you from buying more?

They don't own the mortgage and they get paid for 'servicing'.That's the root of the problem and why the top-levels don't seem to do anything about it.The other issue is man-power and corrections.

For example, differing state restrictions would not prevent someone living in a state other than where your parents live to pursue a strategy like this?

Does anyone know if this will prevent me from getting financing?

that way you have a few months to correct any credit score or DTI issues that may prevent you from buying. 

I need to stop hurting myself, start educating others, to prevent the public, especially children, from mistakes.

Picking-off houses one by one with non-disclosure agreements will not prevent the sale of a home being recorded on the county real property website or property tax site.

This might prevent you from doing something irrational since you could be emotional especially with the loss of your loved one.
