Hi BP Gang,

I'm considering purchasing a single family home from an online auction site. I drove by the property and the property appears to be inhabited. With the current eviction moratorium, will I have any issues evicting the current occupants, so that I can begin the BRRRR process? I've also never been through the eviction process before, so wondering if anyone has any words of wisdom for me if I am able to start the eviction process.

Thank you in advance for any help/guidance you can provide!

Thanks for everyone's input.  Definitely some good advice and things to consider for the future.  Will Westlund, things are going great!  Just had potential long-term tenants sign the lease today so we couldn't be happier with how things are going thus far.  We're in the process of figuring out a way to purchase property number two now.  

BiggerPockets Friends,

First time poster here and excited to be a part of the BP Community.  I'm finally making the jump and purchasing my first investment property in February!  It's a 4 bed, 2 bath bi-level home that we're planning on updating and renting out.  It's a well built home but needs work cosmetically.  I'm wondering if anyone has any recommendations as to what products we should use when we renovate.  We'll be doing flooring (I've heard it's best to stay away from carpets with tenants), countertops, paint, baseboards, etc.  Looking for materials that are durable, affordable, and will hold up well over time.  Any suggestions as we get started with our renovation (or any suggestions for us in general) would greatly be appreciated!
