Hi, thanks all for your advice.I was feeling bad to directly go for an eviction without a notice, but based on your comment and the fact that is not a charity.

Based on your goals, I’d recommend looking into Memphis, Little Rock, and Oklahoma, as well as Houston, DFW, and San Antonio.Memphis, Little Rock, and Oklahoma offer affordable entry points, strong rental demand, and slow, steady appreciation.
