But in recent years, Coleman began showing signs of dementia — he would forget to pay bills or buy food.

There are several ways you can get educated: books, BP, REIA groups, Seminars, Guru training packages etc.

Food for thought.

I would follow the lawyer's advice on whether or not you should keep the dogs for a while, or if you can re-home the dogs to a good home on your own (craigslist is a good option).It's nuts that $400 over 4 months could make this person a "tenant," but this guy seems to be playing you and I wouldn't be surprised if he tried to cause problems if you goofed the eviction.Personally, if it was a friend's friend and they gave me $400 in cash over 4 months for shared food or something and I had no lease, I would likely take a huge risk and say screw them and change my locks.

Large banks do sell bulk REO packages, but in their mind, it does not become a bulk deal until the package includes 50 - 200 properties that are bought sight unseen.That being said, you could always try to make an offer on 4 or 5 homes at one time as a "bulk" deal.

Looks like you can get a mailing house to do a run of slightly smaller cards, do the EDDM packaging, and with postage for only like $0.10 for runs in the 2,500 piece range.

What about if you acquire a portfolio of several rental homes---do they get grouped into one package usually?

YOu'd be lucky to come across one every year or two down by me.Typically, those units tend to be sold in packages as small apt complexes as opposed to just one at a time.
