Evictions in Indiana

[Alex Corral]

I want to ask your experience with evictions you’ve had in Indiana. What are your typical timelines before a tenant is served with an eviction notice & they are evicted? What has been your experience with costs? What are the requirements to get rid of the tenants possessions they have left on your property? I have been dealing with 2 very long & costly evictions. The tenants stopped paying in September 2018, had their hearing early January. Evicted about mid January.. left all their possessions & I just had to pay to pack up their stuff (over $800). I’m not sure of conditions yet, but I still need to pay for a cleaning, *hopefully just minor rehab.. paint.. etc. But I’m looking at a total loss of about $10,000 total. Would appreciate any advice, where I could minimize this from happening again. I’m a new investor (under 2 years in the game).
