There has been some sort of domestic dispute and the two women have told me that they do not feel safe living with the guy that is still there.

Of course, there are all sorts of caveats. 

Sort or scrub for your property type (sounds like SFRs).  

hi there,i'm wanting to get into more of a long game scenario w buy&holds, but keep hearing that wholesales, flips, etc. are a great way to generate some quick (or quicker) profit that can then be used to help to fund the b&h strategy. i don't know the beginnings, however, of what to look for/watch out for in relation to that sort of strategy. this was just sent to me by zillow because it's in the area i've been looking: http://www.zillow.com/homes/for_sale/fsba,fsbo,for...it's a super solid area with incredibly high demand. this could end up being a buy & hold, actually, since it fits a lot of the things we've been looking for and is in the area we'd prefer no less.i guess my question is simply this: how do i best assess this in terms of it being an REO?

I put them up in a hotel for that too.Those are things that a tenant deserves some sort of help from a landlord with.

I must admit that the area can be a little sketchy at times with the wrong sorts hanging out in the park area, but the water park attracts young kids from the school there.

I also saw how much dust, hair and other grit was stuck in my poly the next day.  

There is a 99.5% chance it's a fraud/scam of some sort. 

It's not any sort of requirement.

Alot of times with a clogged shower drain there is just hair in the drain.
