Crackhead squatter stole the siding off my house

     Wad up BP fam, 

     If you plan on buying houses at the foreclosure auction, you better learn how to deal with squatters and people on drugs from time to time. After you win the bid at the courthouse steps, you immediately inherit all the problems that come with that house, even people(good, bad & Ugly). The eviction process can be very slow, so us real estate investors must figure out other ways to get unwanted tenants out of our houses. Sometimes these people won't have any place to go so you may have to do what I call the "deal with the devil". This is where we pay the tenant, or squatter to leave. But even if you pay them things don't always go smooth. Today I'll share with you what happens after I agreed to pay the squatter to leave, and then he stole the siding off my house over night.
