And most important, the water has been shut off.

The bill from a broken line may reach into the thousands of dollars if the water is not shut off quickly (how quickly will your tenants notify you?).

Friends, family, co-workers, people from your church or other organizations, etc.

@Dan ShoemakerYou shut the door on unlicensed brokers?

thanks everyone @Denise Pauzano my investors were mostly friends/friends of friends/people from church.

The problem is that as soon as I mention the word "foreclosure", the person immediately shuts down and tries to end the conversation as quickly as possible.

We purchase Owner Financed Notes in the first position, and make a few large loans for Major Property and Commercial or Construction Businesses, starting at $500,000 & up.I have two children and two beautiful grandchildren, a wonderful husband, I attend Church services regularly.

Church tenants generally devalue a property.

The water is metered for each side, so there are separate water bills, but if one side doesn't pay, the water is shut off at the street for both sides.

The only reason there are section 8 now is because the property has been owned by a charitable organization for the last 20 years and they help elderly people when they need housing, through their churches I believe.
