Valuations are subjective and objective, we can't get the subjective side until we have artificial intelligence!

Just curious where your objections lie.

I would make it due on the first, late on the 5th ($25) and really late on the 10th ($50).The snow removal is probably fine, but never give a tenant a power tool or sharp object like a lawn mower.

So, I decided to consolidate as much of my material shopping as possible to one store (Home Depot), spent a bunch of time scouring Home Depot to pick out the exact materials I'd use on every rehab, put together a spreadsheet of all these materials (and their SKUs) and spent some time getting to know one of the guys at the contractor pro desk.Now, when I get a house, I mark my spreadsheet with the quantity of each item I need, I fax it to my guy at the pro desk, he quotes me a price, charges my credit card and has the materials delivered the next day.

I know this from experience.You will have to go to Atlanta for the hearing on eviction if an answer is filed.When there before the court hearing they always assign a mediator unless the landlord,tenant,or both object to not negotiating a workout before seeing the judge.I always tell the tenant before going down there if they want to pay x or do a workout go ahead and give me the money now and we don't have to drive and show up for court.If they insist on a mediator we go downtown but I tell them to have cash or cashiers check on hand and the amount better be the full amount or close to it owed or no workout will be looked at with the mediator.You need to give the 3 day notice TODAY and immediately file eviction.You need that in process in case the tenant is lying about their situation.If you wait weeks and weeks and the tenants lies don't come true with cash just more excuses you have lost another months rent.If you get a judgement you can file a FIFA on their credit and go after wage garnishment but it is a long and drawn out process.Sometimes the tenant will say we will pay 600 if 1,000 is owed and move out by xxx date.If they do that sometimes it is an option.You lose 400 but don't spend 2 months getting them out and re-rent to another tenant so gain in the long term.Other factors in a workout is how long the tenant has been living there.If they have wore the unit down pretty good it's better to work with them many times instead of pumping thousands and thousands of dollars in to get ready to re-rent again and lose a months of income to boot and court costs.Hope it helps.No legal advice.

If you're a speculator, you're commonly focusing on what the price of the object is going to do."

There are opportunities there but it objectively has to be one of the riskiest ways to buy properties in Pennsylvania.

My main objective is to do a quick first pass over different properties.I know of a couple of sources, but the data isn't easy to work through:Craigslist - search for a zipcode, with 0 mileszilpy.com - but they have a limited number of searchesI'd be willing to pay a subscription fee if the data is easy to consume and accurate enough.Thanks!

I do try to limit size and quantity, but I limit them by higher fees. 

that can take up to 6 months, maybe longer but those are rarities where there are objections to the suit.So if could take you 9 months before you can sell a property that you bought at tax sale, so much for a quick turn over.
