I've already got:- Signed lease-  Five Day notice to pay or quit delivered by the Sheriff- Tenants Rights and Responsibilities Acknowledgement form signed by tenant acknowledging receipt of legal aid info.- Rent Ledger and payment history from the online payment service to track rent payments- Email correspondence between Landlord and Tenant regarding rent and maintenance on the property.Already had the hearing where the tenant showed up and disagreed that they owe rent. 

I assure you, I’ve been around the block a few times—though not quite as many times as I’d like when I’m out running errands!

With rents cooling off, some landlords are becoming more desperate to fill vacancies and may be more inclined to approve tenants who don’t quite meet all the usual criteria.

Probably only about 5% of the seems but it's enough to make the floor look not great.I think the vinyl plank flooring was decent quality as it was quite a bit more expensive than the laminate I was looking at initially, but maybe I could have bought even more expensive vinyl. 

Hi there, I host meet ups that are quite well attended, if I can humbly say.

You are in quite the predicament.

Adding in court fees, attorney fees, no rent during the process, and any turnover expenses versus just eating the plumbing fee. 

Since, it's a new property maintenance is quite low and wondering if relying on Equity and Appreciation of the house over long term is right way to go? 

I’m a local agent and I would say there are quite a few.

Also with stucco siding tile roofs No major weather issues desert landcaping etc etc.. maintenance is quite easy and very cheap compared to other areas of the country.
