That third one is a straight up ghetto, at best you would only be robbed.

And if I leave'em the way they are and go straight to small-claim, how long would it take before I can get a judgement to have the seller pay for the repair and have it finally rent out?

I like his straight up confident attitude.

First, let's set the record straight.

I have my google voice set up to go straight to voicemail with a pre-recorded message about the information to leave and I've only had one person not leave a message.The interesting part is that although the properties aren't in good areas I've had a few people say that they have multiple properties to get rid of so we'll see what shakes out.All in all though I'm not sure that Memphis is the market that I'll target as 90% of the calls came from these undesirable locations.This is still a testing phase for me to see where to hit hard since I'm in Los Angeles and it's really tough here. 

So very straight forward. 

Lock up good properties and be straight up about how you or the deal bring value to the end buyer.

All things considered;  defrost, backup heat, location, and so forth a heat pump will tend to cost about 1/2 to 1/3 as much as straight resistance heat.  1/2 is probably more realistic in real life.  

Aaron's right but if your feeling lazy PM and will give you the straight scoop.  

Actually, technically, out-of-country was but I went straight from that to out-of-state.
