Well...if you are interested in a judicial foreclosure, you may have to wait six months if the owner files an intent to redeem before you can evict.The reason judicial foreclosures were the norm for a while had to do with MERS (Mortgage Electronic Registration System).

Your other option is waiting till you have more saved, most banks want the down payment, closings costs, and 3 months of payments as reserves. 

First, should I wait until after that date to enter into a realtor contract to sell the property to insure that I get the presumption that my intent has been to hold it as an investment property? 

The section 8 individual sent me her application back first.I have already called HUD and am waiting for inspection.My question is- can i send the lease to be signed by the non-section 8 person or do i need to run the entire section 8 process because I received her application first?

"Wait, does she mean a $55,000 deal in Orange County?

Can’t wait to see where this takes me!

This is really different from other managers that tell the tenant to log into a portal... we pull the payment instead of waiting for them to push it! 

As long as the tech companies are hiring the home prices are going to expensive.So waiting for a drop in prices is not a great idea in my opinion.You have several choices:1.

@Mark Waite I've heard the same.

Spend that time learning instead and waiting for the better buyers.I get contacted daily by buyers in the commercial space.
