They may or may not represent you but could at least explain the process to you and get you going in the right direction
Hi,
I know I can proceed with her living in Vermont, I just can’t give the court her address because I don’t know it, sadly. However, I will speak to a attorney there.
The attorney can likely help. But there should also be a way to use the public records by looking up the property information of the house you were in. At the very least you should get a P.O. Box .
What I usually do it just put the following in a google search:
“ address of property “ property search. -or-“ town the property is in” property search.
Best of luck to you and feel free to pm me. I really dislike landlords who take advantage like this.

I have also been going through the podcasts to learn what I can about this niche. Thank you for this thread and thank you to everyone for the responses and info. I am definitely interested in attending the deal Finder’s formula.

And that’s awesome. It’s what I keep hearing from everyone; there’s more than one way to do real estate. If it works, it works!

So your tenant knowingly wrote a bad check. I’m no lawyer but I think that is criminal. Especially if you can prove they closed the account after writing the check.

I don’t know what else to say other than that was an amazing post and some awesome advice to go with it!!
I’ve been working on getting rid of my scarcity mindset and to think bigger. I’m only a fledgling investor with a single duplex now but I definitely want to go bigger into the commercial space.
I’m going to print out your post and tape it to me wall cause this is really good stuff. Thank you so much for sharing!

This is definitely an interesting discussion and one I feel should be asked.
There are a lot of different viewpoints here and I don’t think I can add much more than what has already been mentioned but I’ll try anyway.
To answer the question: I set a goal at 1000 (number of lots as I’m looking to invest in the mobile home park space).
I first came up with that number because it’s a nice, round number. Next, I shot high because, even if I fall short of that, I’ll still be better off than I would have been if I didn’t even try.
Yes one of my primary goals is financial independence. I want to be able to use real estate to cover my living expenses with extra. The question is what is done with the extra? For me, when I get more I can give more. I’d love to be able to look up a charity or a cause I can get behind and make a bigger difference than I can do currently. Also, without having to punch a clock, I can give my time as well as my money.
Whether that time is for volunteering or for family and friends, I want to be able to have that option.
I also agree with previous points on doing this all ethically and with transparency. I definitely couldn’t look at myself in the mirror if I were to be shady about this.
Just my thoughts on the matter. Thanks for asking the question.
