I found a decent deal on a 4-plex and wanted to get some thoughts.

So I have been wanting to start investing into rental properties for a while now and just found bigger pockets a couple months ago.

Second as a contractor  I have found lower cost subs equals lower quality , or uninsured , etc. 

I was never one to sit down and read, however more recently I have found how relaxing it is and instead of reading some fairytale story I'd much rather learn how to better my future and adjust my outlook on life.

Wanted to see what anyone else's thoughts are but let's say I found a broken down house, contacted the owner, and got my offer accepted. 1) Where do I get a legitimate contract to give to him with inspection and financing contingency. 

Gave him a call and found out she was veing evicted for non payment.

@Pavan Kovvuri  In California, landlords are required to mitigate damages (losses) when a tenant breaks a lease and are not allowed to double collect on rent from both the old tenant and the new tenant when a new tenant is found.

A few bought notes (1st mortgage) thinking they own the estate found out the people who sold them the notes changed the names on the title to theirs and fled.This happens more on property managers who manage and pay mortgage for out town investors.

Our fingers are tightly crossed, and I'm grateful to have found such a community to bounce things off of!
