Hi BP family,I have been looking in to eviction cases in my area (Anne Arundel County, Maryland) trying to get a pool of potential landlords for targeted mail (with the purpose of wholesaling).

-For the fallen fence it might seem easier to go to small claims court since it'll be less than $10k.

@Tom Brickman ah, I think there are several pod cast episodes on this and other forum posts too and while it would take a lot to explain here I can at least sum it up.The BRRRR method stands for "Buy" "Rehab" "Rent" "Refinance" "Repeat".In the "Buy" step the investor targets properties that are in a challenge state from motivated buyers. 

I also only offer M2M leases, which makes it easier for me to terminate any agreements for any reason (or no reason).In the future (and maybe you did this), I find it helpful to lurk on social media platforms to see what kind of pets are showing up there before I accept any funds for the hold. 

Good luck on your first deal, first one is the hardest and then it gets way easier.

Here's your order of appearance:1 - Education2 - Money source/qualify3 - Education4 - Market Analysis5 - Learn6 - Sources or targets for buyers7 - Knowledge 8 - Sources for properties9 - More Money sources10 - ...I'm forgetting something,...let me see. 

The second one is painless and efficient once you know how to do it, and as long as you do it well enough, you're still going to grow your portfolio with the owners you target as desirable, i.e. don't question how you rip them off and accept what you give them.If you're a landlord, what kind of tenants do you want?

Even those who lost their homes through foreclosure or short sales still needed a place to live and desired to stay in the same general areas so they became renters.It is important to consider how the industry/business sectors which employ your target tenant pool are likely to perform during a downturn.

You can also ask the seller of your target replacement property to accept the note as part of the consideration/payment for your replacement property, but most sellers will not touch a third-party note. 

My target is at least one or two per year.
