I'm new to REI, but I imagine I can't leave from the closing office, go to the property, and hand the current tenant a letter that their rent will be increasing 300% in oh let me see, 90 days. 

When an investor or company puts time and energy into building a relationship with me and brings something to the table, values my time and shows me there can be a win-win for both of us, I am going to pour a lot more than just a 15 minute CMA into that relationship.  

Account Closed I am not actually in the gumball business but I imagine there are the regular write offs.

As you can imagine this scenario costs several times the amount of the initial investment. 

I haven't used it, but I can't imagine it would be particularly helpful since REO's are almost always listed and if it's gathering data on notices of default, those sources are usually late and you can find it much more quickly by going to the county's website.

Through the entire process, she threatened to sue me probably a dozen or more times for the most frivolous and unfounded reasons imaginable.

Felix, honestly I find renters have so little imagination about what it will be in the "after" version that I would wait until it is ready to start showing and marketing.

I'd imagine you should just start making calls to banks and ask them.That said, one of the things that drives me crazy about BPO agents from an investor point of view is that they are often green, like you, do not know the market and way over estimate the value of a house.  

I would imagine that your broker could help you with that. 

Tons of good info on here on anything and everything you can imagine!
