@Melissa Walker Congratulations on taking this step toward a path of success!

I think the first step is choosing a market and then reaching out to realtors, mortgage brokers, property managers, contractors, lawyers, banks, etc. in the area. 

I guess in general I'm confused about the order of events or steps I should be taking when acquiring a deal to make sure I'm not getting a money pit etc. 

Is that even something possible to take pre eviction steps, where I could have them removed on a certain day if they are not out?

I should've started back at step one. 

It can be hilarious looking at some of this stuff and scratching your head wondering how someone could do that work and then step back and say ,"yep, job well done!"

Hi everyone,I've been following the forums and podcast for a while, and now it's time for me to take it one step further :)I do not live in the states, but as my home country has a really tough real estate market which requires a lot of capital and has really low yields, I want to invest in the US.I currently have around ~250k and I want to start by purchasing a rental property to generate cash flow, then if it goes well slowly grow and add more units.

What would you say would be a next best step to do?

Just sent my first Notice to Comply with Lease Agreement after 3 quiet years.What should be my next step if I come in 14 days to review violations fixed as per the Notice yet the tenants are no show?

We go back out there to assess the situation and there's way more water coming from the seams as we stepped across the floor in those rooms.
