Are their any alternatives?

Most of the latter can appraise a 2-4 unit with competence and only the former would be able to play in the 5+ space or alternative assets arena with any credibility.

I keep telling people there are alternatives to eviction.

My thought is a SD IRA basically gives you alternative to stocks.

I would partner to get into a real estste deal quicker or use an alternative lender with higher rates that will allow a lower downpayment amount?

It’s a cheap alternative to the other suggestions.  

My friend and mentor Teresa Kuhn, JD, RFC recently guested on a Jake and Gino's Wheelbarrow podcast to talk about her alternative strategy for financing real estate. 

If unclaimed, eventually the trustees can file a motion for alternate service and obtain court approval to post the notice on the property or place a notice in a local newspaper, etc. and the judgment will stand.

Before you do it, make sure your "numbers" work and talk with the Taxing authority.Or, look for alternate usage. 

And what if I need to rehab the place do I apply for a separate loan or is there any alternatives?
