It makes sense to me that if they are getting foreclosed on, they probably have people calling them for other debts as well so they just don't answer the phone.I was wondering others experienced this low answer rate as well with pre-foreclosure lists?

This is a great place to learn and to connect with people so take advantage of all the great resources.

The icing on top of these joys - to the extent the property is depreciable in the hands of the recipient - it is an ORDINARY gain, and not a capital gain. 

It's no different than any other deal using other people's money (private money, hard money, etc) which I would imagine falls under this category you do not endorse.I've bought many things with credit (cards or loans, all the same to me) and flipped them for double or triple what they cost me.

We're hoping to do seller financing when we buy our first rental investment property, so I'll be hand-writing letters to long-time owners of rental properties (mostly single family or small multi-family).

All foreclosures are based on gross fraud, forged signatures,fake documents, corrupted judges who are criminals working for the bankers.The same goes for the attorneys.This country doesn't have the lawyers, and public officials are not following the law.Not the common law not even their own fake, UCC code color of law.BAR attorneys are foreign agents trained to destroy American people and American Constitution!

This is not only to make sure that people are taking care of the property, but this is also to make sure that tenants aren't overlooking issues that could be addressed now that cost way more later.These can be minor roof leaks, gutter leaks, mostly to do with water penetration.

ESA's generally are not service animals and these are generally fake certifications that are abused by people to get free accommodations for their pets.

Passive income preferred, with minimal hands on needed.

Boostly is good but they have been struggling to get people's sites up and going.
