It will likely take more than 30 days to get to the point of the sheriff removing the occupants if they don't feel like leaving.

In my personal opinion in this instance I would recommend to them to get a realtor and have it listed on the MLS where they will off load it to an owner occupant.

The cool thing is, financing is easy to obtain as an owner -occupant and you can do this 2-3 times, as long as you really are living in the home for the first year.To get you started I'd highly recommend the book: Investing in Real Estate by Gary Eldred.

I also create financing whether it be contract for deed, all inclusive trust deed, subject to or lease options and wholesale them to either other investors or owner occupants. 

It's time to break utilities out of the gross lease and offer modified gross leases.We are at 100% occupancy.

One way to side step a lot of this is to up the minimum stay to a month and in essence airbnb just becomes a more sophisticated craigslist in theory, connecting users to each other who are looking for and have available month to month occupancies.

It's not unusual for the properties to have no heat, water, or sewer because the occupants couldn't pay the bills. 

For the mortgage, "non-occupant co-borrower" is the magic term you are looking for, @David Dawodu.Primary residence interest rate pricing will apply, not investment property.

Going to be proactive and call on a few folks who I've seen to be pretty active and knowledgeable and put myself out there to see if we could connect: Chris Soignier, Hattie Dizmond, Jon Klaus, Mark Allen, David Veeder to name a few.Don't mean to alienate anyone as I'm a very network minded individual who sees the value in building solid relationships.As for investing, I'm actively pursuing a multi-unit (duplex to fourplex) to utilize as an owner occupant but an looking to ramp up additional units by the end of the year.I've gotten my foundation down and now want to get this knowledge into consistent action.Have some ideas and questions to share as well on the forums, pretty excited to get involved here and start returning the favor to BP and what it has provided.
