That is not a benefit for you, nor any kind of evidence that they are worthy of becoming a resident.That issue aside, I would not allow someone with a recent eviction on my property unless the "unfortunate circumstance" was unlikely to recur AND they otherwise have a strong historical track record of making payments AND they would put down a very large security deposit.

Over the past eight years, I have collaborated with hundreds of out-of-state investors, helping them find cash-flowing properties aligned with their financial goals. 

Hi @John Daniels - the mortgage company I work for, Assurance Financial, is based out of Baton Rouge and we have offices throughout Louisiana.

The deal makes sense financially however the house is in a flood zone A and flooded during this past hurricane season.

My goal of course, is financial independence as soon as possible. 

It only happened once, so you have no evidence that this is anything but an honest mistake that's been corrected.The bigger concern is the 583 credit score, because it shows a pattern of financial mismanagement.

It allows landlords to offer tenants a financial perk that can improve their credit health.

I did purchase my lot in cash.For the financial side, there are different options, and I am far from an expert. 

I'd ask around some GC's that are higher level they may have some decent project management/financial tools if they're at scale.
