@Devin Drowley  Make sure you get info from Brie Schmidt on the upcoming networking events to expand your network.  

If the property is NOT a foreclosure then you will most likely be dealing with traditional eviction process.In either event i would contact a local attorney that specializes in evictions. good luck, take care,Sky Mikesell

The Founders have been so impressed with Catherine, my Wife and Business Partner, that they have brought her on Full Time to run Operations.We are grateful for Biggerpockets and promote the Network to all our Apprentices, Interns, Students, Mentee's, Mentors, Staff, and to the Founders & Board of Directors.Please check our reviews, online, and you can register for our free Matrix Info Events on our website. 

I also just went to my first Rarebird event the other night.

In the event that an owner unexpectedly shows up and asks for the rents collected by me while I possessed their property, I'm entitled to reduce the amount of rent I owe by the documented necessary and reasonable costs of collecting that rent and managing the property.   

In any event, even "trusted" friends have been known to let greed color their judgment, so be careful, and do NOT be completely hands off.

Use the event to learn a bit, and network.If you go in understanding what you're going to get, you'll be less likely to feel like you got ripped off.NOTE: I'm speaking in generalizations about these real estate conferences and know nothing about the one you speak of in particular.

If somebody has a simple sequence of events as far as how the process goes it would be a great help.

I noticed your in Kirkland attend our Snohomish County REI meetup if possible: http://www.meetup.com/SnoCo-Connected-Real-Estate-Investors/events/138912582/

I believe that you can take a picture of your keys and they will store these online in the event that you need to replace or need to order duplicates, at which time you can do so through the app or via your local locksmith.
