Am being patient or lazy? 

Savvy and patient investors will get significantly better discounts than the average slowdown in prices when days on market and months' supply are more.

Be patient and be consistent.  

I think we as investors need to encourage each other as many people outside of investment real estate cannot relate.  8 months.....your a patient man.  

You can reach financial freedom but you have to be patient.

As Dan mentioned, this market is tough so you'll need to be a little patient.  

You just have to be patient and look harder. 

Just be patient and set realistic goals.

Keep the pressure on.Even though you are getting a date for the eviction, file another notice when rent is due again.You can give them a 30 or 60 day notice to "quit" if you wantThe next rent notice you file, you should have personal service, with this you can file for a judgment.I view tenants as customers, I treat them like that until they give me a reason to do otherwise.My wife manages our rental portfolio, commercial and houses, I must admit that she is more patient, kind, understanding and lot better at tenant management than me.Try not to take your tenant's comments or actions personally, this is a business.Sometimes it is better to work with your tenants, show some empathy.Tenants don't want to move or be evicted, there are always reasons why they can't pay........my bride works with them as much as she canA vacancy is expensive

Be patient and consistent.
