My goals for the upcoming 12 months is to acquire 6 to 10 HUD properties (Hudhomestore) to either hold or whoelsale and I need an investor friendly agent to assist me.I'm an agressive investor that is looking for someone that is willing to assist and that will respond to emails/text/pigeons  etc :). 

Hi Bryan,To respond to your inspection question.  

I particularly wanted to respond to @Jason Maestas's post because the deals sounded somewhat similar, and our situations (first foray into larger rehab project) sounded very similar.

Data collection is what you do in order to compile a cold list.Research is what you do when you wish to know or learn more about a topicDue diligence is what you do when you have a lead who has responded and become a prospect or a target asset that you wish to bid on at auction. 

Hello Lonzell,I do not know why noone has responded to your post but I would like to introduce myself to you.

I am also in San Diego so let me know if you ever want to meet up.As the other responders stated, BP is an excellent resource and you will do well to spend some time looking through the blogs and forums, making connections, checking out the resources, etc.Best wishes,Vincent

If the lawyer responds siding with the HOA then I would contact the Master Insurance Policy company and send them the same info you sent the lawyer.Lastly you have to decide what value you place on your time, stress, and if you are a professional landlord who treats their rentals as a business and file a Civil court case for damages, attorneys fees, filing fees, court costs, and any collection fees can be amended to a judgment and added later.It would be in your best interest Now to start accumulating any evidence you can (emails sent addressing the issue, pictures of repair people and/or water heater in neighbors unit, phone logs notifying the HOA of this issue, repair bills from leaking water heater damage.)Good Luck

The more you post and respond to other people's questions, the better chance of connecting with other investors in your area.

I appreciate that you took time out your day to respond to my post.
