When the property manager followed up with the husband he said he had moved out and wouldn't be paying rent anymore (5 months left on lease @1250/month).Our property manager filed an eviction notice with the court, gave the tenants required time to collect belonging before taking the unit back. 

The deposit belongs to the ex-tenant after all, so do give it to him - but keep your proof intact just in case you need it when you stand in front of a judge. 

I either sold, gave away, or trashed all my worldly belongings (best feeling ever).  

From friends and colleagues that live/rent in NYC, the bulk of owners/landlords of smaller properties in Manhattan tend to be long-term owners (eg; have owned the property for 20, 30+ years).From an investment perspective, the price in the outer boroughs coupled with the still extremely high demand for rentals makes it a no-brainer if you can afford the entry ticket.

She was trying to save money and lawyer wrote up documents that backs up my sellers will that property solely belongs to her and she can sell with her parents name on deed and not hers.

You will get 6-12 months on the term, interest only, so these are not designed to be long term loans. 

As for farming it to the tenants, I wouldn't do that unless you can clearly delineate whose sidewalk & yard belongs to whom, i.e. a side-by-side rather than up and down. 

As they will be long distance rentals, you need a manager. 

For example, the tenant could claim the Seller allowed them to paint the walls black or that their security deposit was twice what the Seller claimed or that the refrigerator belongs to them.

The real goal of eviction (in my opinion) is to simply get the tenant out so you can gain control of the property and re-rent to a new tenant that will pay rent.If the eviction goes all the way (where tenant does not vacate, you get a Writ of Possession, the constable shows up and you/your crew remove belongings to the curb) the tenant will have it on their record for 7 years.
