Patrick Hi and Welcome all your Answers are on this Blog I would Recommend to get a Mentor But I would also Recommend you take massive action an join your Local Real Clubs in your area an network Connecting with Other Investors by calling the "We Buy Homes" Signs Hope that Helps.

Even though your parents don't own the home they could bring eviction action if they "subleased" her into the home without your knowledge.

Account Closed I think this post does a disservice to any new agent reading it, because it will keep them from taking action right now with what they have available.All you need to start is your 2 legs, and some flyers that can be printed by a title company or lender, the ability to face fears, and the willingness to put in a lot of work every day knocking on doors to introduce yourself and talk to as many strangers as possible. 

I would not do anything unless you are pushed by the police (I've had received letters, when they did undercover drug buys from 2 different tenants, telling me that I need to evict or they'll seize the property).She's innocent until proven guilty and I think you'd leave yourself open to some legal action, if you tried to evict for something like this - and I don't know if the judge would go for this anyway.

When you get to that point, try to really start taking action...keep learning, by all means - don't ever stop!

It's now time or action.  

For instance, if a contractor wants to charge me $150 for a toilet I know I can get for $90 or 6k for cabinets I can get for 4k, there's no way I can blindly accept being overcharged for something I know doesn't cost that much.

I have also been in conversation with the agent contracted to provide the bank with a fresh BPO - which I will have a copy of later today.Can any of the experienced note investors share what action steps I need to take to make this successful?
