Maybe it's a processing fee, an application fee, etc?  

Follow the lease and the laws in your state and start the eviction process.

It's a long-term learning process, but an interesting and often profitable journey - best of luck to you!

@Michael Smythe Great processes Michael!

Mark, I am in the process of completing a HELOC with Wells Fargo.

This can be a very long and annoying process and you're not guaranteed to get approved.

I am in the process of suing him and just finding out now that he's done this not once, not twice...But 4 times AT LEAST.

And you can do it with little cash, 5% down conventional is better than 3.5% FHA.House hacking also gives you a chance to cut your teeth in all major skills: analyzing deals, buying process, financing, working with contractors, advertising for rent, background checks, property management.

The broker/LO misses something that gets caught late in the process and blows the loan up.

I want a good turn key property that can be set up with a management company and I would like to repeat this process at least two or three times this year.
