The Bay Area I thought was one of the most TENANT friendly areas of the country so I'd be shocked if in Virginia they would let this sort of foolishness go on man.In any case...keep your head up because I have to believe that when/if this gets before a judge again, they will look at the whole case.....including when she did not show up the first time and essentially wasted the court's time.Stay strong man...it will work out OK.

This involves investing using solid criteria and fundamentals, not speculating or relying on appreciation or rent growth, and of course solid cash flow.

Long-distance DIY investing is definitely a viable strategy, you just have to do the legwork of developing a solid team that you can easily manage from afar.Of course, if your primary goal is to get into a more passive form of REI, Turnkey is likely going to be one of your best options.

Can anyone recommend a solid title company to complete this transaction?

However I read “miracle morning” so I only sleep 2 hours a night, and now I can make a little time for wasteful indulgences like BP

Don't waste your time setting up showings with people you know aren't qualified.

@David HaldDon't spend your 35k and waste your great private money on a deal with that small cash flow.

Anything more than three blocks away is useless. 1 mile away is a waste of time.

Most tennats know they can drag out a rent free situation for months otherwise.By not filing first yu are wasting valuble time in protecting your investment.Always begin th eviction before you offer a bribe otherwise they have no incentive to accept.  

I’ve found that solid agents who represent investors are hard to come by, because they are in such high demand.
