up to 10 per loan.. since our loans were so large it was hard to find one person with 500k .. and that was in the 80s our loans were that size in the Bay area.. 

Mark,What's the loan size and the reason for the financing issue?

Talk to the neighbors; I bet they have stories to tell.Whatever you do, you need to do it all fast or you will be stuck in a long battle to remove these folks who more than likely are the scammers. 

@Alexander DiazDid you have any markets that interested you or size of properties?

I would recommend a sprayer with at least 3000 psi and that can support a tip size of 515 or 517. 517 is your most common/all around beginner tip size for both interior and exterior.

To get another fha at the same time, you have to meet one of the exemptions.....moving over 50-100 milesfor work, increased family size, etc.Otherwise you have to refi Out of the fha, typically into conventional, then you can get another fha..

@Robert AdamsWith this size of a portfolio - it is crucial to work with a real estate focused CPA who understands real estate tax laws and making sure you are taking advantage of various strategies(depreciation, cost segregation, 1031, etc).Good luck in your search for a CPA.

In general, you want comps that have closed within the last 6 months, within a 1 mile radius of the subject property that are +/- 10% of the square footage, with similar size lots and similar finishes.

I started this project hoping i could efficiently review the most amount of properties in order to maximize the potential investment options to bid at auction....this is what I have so far.First thing i did was to create the listings, I matched the properties been auctioned with their corresponding pics and the property specs (rooms, size, floors etc.).Second, for each property I automated the data collection process from public records and created a report with: Foreclosure info, owner info, taxes data, liens including mortgages , satisfaction of mortgages,  assigments, violations and permits and court dockets.This data is updated daily to capture new filings (specially the dockets to capture bk and motions to cancel sales)Now that i have the data i can apply my personal "preferences" to go through the report and in a few minutes discard  properties that have certain attributes I "dislike". 

@Joaquin Camarasa you can get anywhere from $500 - $900 in NoVa depending on location,size of bedroom and amenities.
