I don't live with negative thought patterns.

The seller finally came to closing and she had to pay for all the attorney fees.The 2nd one I filed my own lawsuit, following the pattern of the first one.

I've seen this pattern repeated vacancy after vacancy.

There was very little strategy (or pattern) except that they were all purchased from property owners in default, with some equity.

Second was Southfork, but that's a different story.The downtown traffic patterns had changed, but you could still drive west down the Houston St viaduct, and in the same lane as the presidential convertible.

@Charley Fernandez I understand what you are doing and have a few (jaded) comments. 1) She couldn't afford last month's rent (late) 2) She couldn't afford this month's rent (late and partial payment) 3) See the pattern (digging deeper hole)?

Using that pattern we moved from one property to 8 properties over about 15 years.

Make sure they have GOOD credit, to show they have a pattern of paying their way.A guarantor (co-signer as some might call it) would help.Can the rent that is supposedly in a savings account be placed into an escrow account so that it does not get spent?

So we put dual shower heads and a really nice marble product on the walls.
