I'm trying to get the details of the lawsuit to see if there's a chance the suit can come to me, but the landlord is dragging her feet and asking me to give her any support material I may have.

I would like to hear the details!

.#5 Make Decisions Based on the NumbersYour real estate investing strategy should include the financial parameters by which you determine if a property is worth purchasing.Your strategy may include details about: Purchase price range.Investment cash needed for repairs and upgrades before leasing to tenants.Financing strategy for the short and long terms.Bargain purchase (the percent under fair market value a property must be purchased).Immediate value increase (the percent in increased value you expect after making initial repairs and upgrades).Geographic area.Net income.Cash flow.Net cap rate (annual net income/total value).When you find a potential investment property that fits within the guidelines of your real estate investment strategy, you can pull the trigger based on the numbers rather than emotions and personal preferences.#6 Don’t Buy from Unmotivated SellersMotivated sellers are usually willing to work with buyers, so focusing on finding motivated sellers can result in making great deals as a real estate investor.

Please help any help with answering the suggested answers so I know where I went wrong in part 1 and any additional clauses that need to be included in part 2.I am aware BiggerPockets does contain contracts specific to each state but how much in detail are they i.e do they cover everything I've mentioned and perhaps even more things I haven't thought about yet?

More details means more people will be able to advise you.

@Kris Nicholson You should join TREIA, and (independently) feel free to attend tonight's Triangle Deal Maker Sessions (go to MeetUp for details).

I see a lot of people waste homeowners valuable time for potential resolutions because they are unaware of all the factors relating to the foreclosure and details of the debt associated with property. 

My ability to painstakingly investigate our potential tenants, really get into the details of involved criminal and credit histories, has been very useful for us as part of our business plan.

If you do the footwork, the title company might see these as easier to work or you might need to offer to pay the title company more for all of the extra work.
