If a tenant 'disappears', it's usually because of financial issues and that they have already been served disconnect notices by the utility company and once power and heat get turned off, they figure that the game is over and move out, leaving a mess and broken pipes behind (especially in the freezing winter temps).  

County tax appraisal office values it at $158,212.Saw pics of the house online, and plan on visiting it later this weekend.Owner is 70’s years old, and wants to retire and move to Arizona.

Most are going to want some skin in the game until you have proven yourself with them.

Hello,I am generally new to the real estate game.

Oh, by the way Mr/Ms bank- if they cash flowed, I wouldn't need you.1. 50k debt, worth 100k2. 50k debt, worth 140k3. 25 debt, worth 125kI REALLY need this to happen so I can get back in the game.  

Otherwise you would be playing a "slow mans game" if you only focused on cash flow.

NOO probate either tax delinquent or preforclosure.I’d be at the public records office or courthouse or if it’s available online I’d be at Starbucks Then I’d go meet with them, I’d skip trace or send a white letter then show up on a Saturday between 12-4pm

Have been bidding on online  auctions, haven't won anything yet, but it's only a matter of time.
