You'll want to talk to a local probate attorney to see how much time that could take.If the squatter is not making mortgage payments, you've got perhaps another month or two before the lender begins foreclosure proceedings.In your situation, I would approach the squatter to see inside the property to assess the condition.

Thanks for sharing your insights Bonnie, I love the approach that you take! 

Over time, repeating this approach can help you build a versatile portfolio.Good luck!

I admire that you've handled most of the filings yourself, but I’d prefer to take a more hands-off approach.

They can offer a more hands-off approach while you get your feet wet.

Very wrong approach!

Are there any tax or management benefits to this approach?

I'm interested in a similar approach: live in one unit and rent out the rest.

I completely agree with your approach to private money lending.

Best of luck on your journey—your approach is strong, and with persistence, you’ll be well on your way to achieving your goals!
