Someone I know is under contract on a property near the Beltline in West End.  

I've read all the books that assume i automatically know people with money.

Tell me how the judge is going to react on a landlord who files the FTP form and the judge sees the rent wasn't late.

Private money may cost you more in the end, but as long as you know the terms and are fine with it.  

The only thing that might prompt me into more aggressive action would be if the municipality started issuing a fine each day that I know I would never be able to recover from the tenant and even then if the items had value to the tenants, I might still put them in a storage unit and charge the tenant back for that until the eviction was complete.

How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

How are you currently finding your tenants/guests?

I know I couldnt visit with my kids.

As you continue to learn and grow in this new venture, know that there are many who can relate to your challenges and aspirations.

If so how was it?
