I am in process of closing on my first MF house and recently received the initial closing disclosure. 

If they are not out, start the eviction process immediately.

As a wholesaler I know I need one that understands the process.

I have a local bank that I work with and I just assumed they'd be good to go with a certain deal in a different town nearby...but it turns out they didn't want to do the loan there...so I had to find a different lender, and that slowed the whole process down!

If they don't leave you will have to start the eviction process over from scratch as the previous proceedings with the previous owner would be null and void.

You're in the process of being screwed by an unscrupulous seller. 

After purchase your basic steps are just rehab and list and then go through the buying process again but from the other side

And you also need to repeat the process for multiple deals to a) diversify and b) reinvest (most deals are 3-10ish years).

I do listen to excellent podcasts on Bigger Pockets and am currently in process of doing my second "buy and hold" deal most probably in Jacksonville FL.To all my knowledgeable friends here,  I want to say you do a  "Great Job" teaching others (through discussions) so that Real estate becomes a joyful adventure where newbie investors like me can gain from superb advice !!

The process was okay.
