I will be attending the Investor Underground meetup on a regular basis so if you're also a regular, please let me know so we can meet in person.Feel free to message me.

@Christine Swaidan I have the clause in the lease agreement, that I will have the carpets professionally cleaned and deducted from their security deposit because I don't want them getting the cheapest guy in town or using the cleaner from the grocery store, been there done that!!!!

If their contact doesnt remove their items we will store them (at their cost) for up to 30 days.In your situation I would let the sheriff finish the eviction so its official.Problem number 2 we handle by saying that if the rent is unpaid for 5 days after the due date and we are unable to contact the tenant we have the right to assume abandonment and take back over possession of the property, thus we can avoid the eviction process.

Seriously I don't care if its at the grocery store, the movies or your local REIA.

Hi everyone,Can anyone recommend a proven and reputable real estate agent in the Bay Area who works regularly with investors?

You could measure your kitchen floor to get an idea of floor square footage, then go to a big box store to price materials to install.  

While the store manager told me about the engineered vinyl floor looks just like hard wood.
