Year 1, I intend to keep my W2 job while i work to get my small business going.

Many first time investors don't realize that by getting into the management they are getting another job.  

If you like your job, and your goal is to create long term wealth through equity then keep the property, fix it up over time, and in the future you will be able to rent it out for profit.

Push forward with your eviction and cut your losses. 

In my day job I’m an ops professional who manages a tech stack and efficiency is important.

It's your job to create a buffer between the tenants before they start fighting as well.

Also, focus on 2 years of job/income stability.Class D Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, all cashflow with little, maybe even negative, relative rent & value appreciationVacancy Est: 20%+ should be used to cover nonpayment, evictions & damages.Tenant Pool: majority will have FICO scores under 560 (almost 30% probability of default), little to no good tradelines, lots of collections & chargeoffs, recent evictions.

All the posts do a good job of highlighting the importance of a long term view when acquiring property.

This also cuts down on the crazies. 

This will cut down significantly on the issues you may have down the road with communication, paying rent on time, caring for property, etc.
