It is easy to sell without tenants because it is a desirable area but I feel uncomfortable to force tenants out.

But how many investors here routinely and comfortably experience triple or quadruple digit returns on 5-figure or higher investments of their capital?  

I haven't gotten my businesses consistent yet (constant deal flow with flips, same routine throughout the week), so it really varies.

We were routinely renting it out for about $1,250 per month.  

The biggest thing, is trying to get your child on a routine, then you'll have an idea when it's safe to schedule phone calls, etc. without interruptions.

@Gary Alford  I know this is an old thread.the issue with the one I bought it was a mortgage not a lien.we deal with code enforcement liens all the time.. they are our targets.we routinely get them knocked down by 70 to 90% by just being nice and cleaning stuff up.end of the day though  there is profit and unconscionable profit.. 95k on a 195k deal is just not anything I want to be involved with I would just step aside and let someone else have it..

A conversation like that seems most uncomfortable and kind of "how dare you" -ish.  

There are multiple levels of certification depending on how much remediation you choose to do, each certification level comes with corresponding requirements for routine re-certifications.

Breon Jackson "Do something everyday that makes you feel uncomfortable"In 7th grade I had a lawn mowing business with my best friend.

The seller recently decided to move out of town and didn't want to be a remote landlord entrusting his property to a property manager, so he was uncomfortable holding onto the property (this is a critical piece of information; always figure out what the sellers motivation is and keep the conversation tailored around that).
