I am running to a dead end here and need some help.  

(or however long it takes you to save up the downpayment for the next purchase) Otherwise, you will be stuck in that house (and that house payment) and this strategy will be dead in the water. 

This will capture : Absentee owners, Probates, preprobates, Pre-Preprobates, greedy/broke heirs, tax defaults, family disputes, dead beat cousins, dead, vacant, orphan, abandoned and deferred maintenance.  

I was sort of shocked to see this popped up, thanks for the kind words.We've set out to make compliant tenant screening for property managers and multifamily owners dead simple and super accurate.

Comparatively stock market does a lot better especially if you are buy and hold index funds over the long haul.The biggest thing going for real estate in my opinion are- Rental income generated (comparing to stock market again because i understand that a lot better.

Anything from a hole in the roof to fallen tree (safety hazard) to burst pipes to dead HVAC, so your reserves need to be relatively accessible.That said, we keep $3k in a checking account for each property.

Additionally, much of the existing housing stock has not been updated for a while due to having long-term tenants.

There are folks that I've worked with that have never experienced savings, never invested in the stock market, never bought a home, and in the case of some extreme examples, have never even opened up a bank account.

Being that there is so little stock in our neighborhood, my gut tells me we will be waiting this out.

Her ex-husband may be power of attorney, but I believe he is dead also...
