You are welcome to ride along as I evaluate the properties. 

If you figure out how to make the bids, and do the due dilligence to evaluate the homes, get all utilities inspected prior to closing etc.. then you are doing the work most people won't and you're more likely to get a deal here.

Watch Brandon's videos on how to evaluate a property and then practice it daily.

Agents can help you evaluate deals on the MLS and ideally bring you deals not yet posted there. 

Evaluate your home every year and update things as needed.

If you were slow in getting the lender what he needed in order to complete his evaluation, then consider that it may be your fault.

@Ed MoranI’ve been evaluating the impact of the ‘active RE’ status and have some thoughts.

I’ve been told when evaluating properties to check the numbers to see if the property is a good investment or not.

In your case you need to re-evaluate the numbers and make sure they still work for you.

We always mail the deposit to the tenants next address so we have time to go through move out process to evaluate their return deposits.
