I ended up with eviction attorney fees, process server fees--the only way they left was that they did not pay their water and electric and the utiity companies had shut them off--they left in the middle of the night and I got a house with smashed in doors, carpeting that had to be removed, holes in walls, a back yard that had all the trees cut down, and a garage full of junk that had to be hauled.

I had a steel security door installed.

What I do with my properties for sale, is to tape the flyer to back patio door so any potential buyers can get all the stats immediately and a contact phone number.

You can ask a smaller credit agency to work with you with just a few rentals, and negotiate a price--the larger ones don't want to do it usually.Hope that helps a bit.

I do not believe I have found a worthwhile deal yet, so I am staying put till I get 75-100 dollars a door using the 50% rule.

http://www.thinkinkmarketing.com If I remember correctly, costs $1.25 each for everything, out the door, via first class mai.

Over the years I've worked on hundreds of projects, from small damage projects in mobile homes to multi-story commercial properties.I thought it might be good to start a thread where people can come with questions about what to do, or what to expect when dealing with different types of damage.Let's start with something very basic and important: Does your property management know what to do in case of emergency?

Go around, knock on doors and start talking.

My concern is that the tenant will not willingly open the door and let me visit the condo since they are being evicted and probably quite upset.

I haven't had an agent knock on my door in YEARS.With the death of doorknocking went the death of the need for this marketing, IMO.
