Post: Accepting money from a tenant after eviction filed?

A little update for everyone.

I went to the Clerk of Courts this morning to file the default package and they tell me the tenant deposited $900 into the court and I have to file a Motion and Order to strike. She told me they don't have the forms and I can just google it to get one. 

Well I did and there are lots of similar but yet different ones to choose. I'm not sure which to use or if it really even matters. 

Man I can't wait for this to be over...

Recently I had a scenario in which I had to evict tenants. I had their $1000 deposit, the attorney charge $750 so instead I made them an offer $500 in return for them leaving within a week. They agreed, house looked clean and on day of departure we did the exchange. I made them sign a bunch of papers. Worked well.

 This is what I will more than likely try to do next time, cash for keys. I will offer them around $300 to move out by the end of the week. That would save me time and money in the end. 

Thanks for all the great replies, much appreciated.

Thanks for the quick replies!

I am wanting to get the tenant out. If I accept the partial payment does this then end the eviction process? Would I then have to start the eviction over, or can you just continue on with the eviction since she still owes rent.

I'm not going to accept the partial payment but I am just trying to learn as much as I can about the eviction process. It's my first eviction so I'm still learning the ropes.

Should I accept partial payment from a tenant after I file the eviction with the court? This is in Miami Dade County. I have filed the appropriate paperwork for the eviction and the tenant now has partial payment and I was wondering if I should accept.

Thanks

Hello,

I am new to the RE investment game and currently have 4 properties under contract. I got my real estate license for the purpose of collecting the commision and being able to utilize MLS. I was wondering how some of you setup your search criteria to get the best results.

Do you filter any specific keywords? I know this is kind of based on what type of niche you will be going after, but what are some general examples of good keywords?

Any other tips and tricks you can use in MLS to be the more efficient?

Hello,

I'm new to the forum and also a newbie in the game of Real Estate investing. I have 4 deals currently under contract and searching for more. I am a licensed Florida real estate agent with virtually no training. I reside in Fort Lauderdale and looking for properties around South East FL. I'm wondering how to use MLS to find potential investment deals most efficiently.

I am interested in single family and small multi-family properties. What are some good keywords to filter when using MLS? What other tips and tricks can you do with the MLS information to help locate deals quicker and more efficiently.
