The Jefferson County Sheriff never executed the set out, I finally settled with the tenant on 10/15/2018 and paid her $500 to leave and called her an uber to take her to a hotel  because her car got repossessed. She only left because I showed her the eviction notice and told her the sheriff was coming anyday. I was shocked at the lack of action at the Sheriffs office. I thought the court order was the hard part, but even with a signed eviction order by the judge you still need the sheriff to execute it. I let the foreclosure notice stay open until 1/8/2019 when I got a new tenant in there and still not a word from the sheriff. I finally had to get the foreclosure order dismissed because I didn't want them to evict my new tenant on accident. This is my last rental in Jefferson county. 

Congrats on chasing your passion and going full time! I went full time 3 years ago and it feels like its been one long vacation. I haven't bought from a wholesaler yet but not because I'm against it, it's just that I haven't seen the right deal yet.

133k ARV. 15k repairs needed, Home sits on 5.6 Acres with detached 25x25 garage with concrete floor.

Needs the following repairs:

1) Baths remodeled

2) Interior paint all surfaces

3) Kitchen cabinents painted 

4) New kitchen appliances

5) finish drywall work in living room

6) hardwood floors refinished

7) upgraded fixtures 

Update - I offered 1000 cash for keys by Text and Email with no response. I guess I'll just wait it out. 

I own and manage 11 rentals and YES I give my cell to every tenant. In the last year I received maybe 3 or 4 actual phone calls. I tell tenants that the best way to reach me is text and if they do call I don't answer and just immediately text them back. I'm very responsive but prefer text. I also have rentalutions where tenants can open a maintenance ticket online. 

Jefferson County 

I'm a new landlord with about 3 years experience. I have 11 rentals and have had a great experience with all tenants with one exception, the eviction I'm working on right now!  I thought I'd post the eviction updates as they passed thru the court system as I had no idea how long an eviction took before I started this process.

1) 5/1/2018 Served 30 day "Notice of Non-Renewal" for month to month lease. (For non payment its only 7 days). This is a form that you create yourself that just says your not renewing the lease. 
1) 6/5/2018 filed a form called "unlawful detainer" ($220 filing fee + $50 misc fees, $270 total) with Court. It's basically a lawsuit saying that the tenant is unlawfully occupying the home after the lease expired.
2) 6/22/2018 Received "Notice of service response". The court hired a process server to serve tenant, the tenant had 7 days to respond, she did not respond. 
3) 7/9/2018 Because notice went uncontested I filed “application for entry of default judgment” 
4) 8/13/2018 Default Judgement signed by the Judge.
5) 8/21/2018  filed "Writ of Possession" (Min Seven days waiting period after default judgment signed)
6) 8/24/2018 Writ of Possession signed by the Judge. Waiting on Sherrif for SET-OUT

7) TBD Acutal Set out

Ive been told that the actual set-out can take "6 weeks or so" to occur, it's basically when the sheriff gets around to it. This has been a learning experience! If you ever see anyone with an eviction on their credit keep in mind they most likely went 5-6 months without paying rent. 

I wish you all on time rent payments and profitable flips!
