While builders attempt to catch up assets will not decline. 

Hi @Zane Belden my last attempt in PHX was this past May.  

I would like to attempt to direct mail to pre foreclosures in Texas(preferably in the Plano/Dallas area) in hopes of possibly taking over their mortgage payments to stop the foreclosure from happening.  

I would be reluctant to attempt a syndication without really investing into education first.  

We shied away from it after numerous attempts to get a hold of the association and doing some more intel on the area. 

I'm looking to get started as soon as possible, currently I'm attempting to learn more before I fully do so. 

The court will not award late fees, but you can still report and attempt collection for them after the judgement. 

I agree with that Tyler  but also it's bad for economies in long run  http://www.businessinsider.com/does-rent-control-w...It actually reduces the housing stock.They will be voting on increasing rent controls in a year in the state legislature, also on ellis act and are attempting to repeal prop 13 if we don't get active. prop 13 http://www.dailynews.com/opinion/20170407/in-pover...more on economics of rent control:http://www.seattletimes.com/opinion/there-is-never...

I would also not attempt to do it out of state, unless you have a very trusted partner in the area.Second, there is the value of your time.

This is my first attempt at a house hack, so advice is much appreciated!
