Now my first property currently has a tenant that is not paying rent, so we started the eviction process.

I would get the new tenant to apply and process it per your criteria.  

There's no strings attached thereafter or need to agree to ongoing PM services.

People who get evicted could care less about a judgement or the collection process. 

Right now I am already in the process of:-posting the portfolio for sale here in the BP forums.

We are submerged in the process of learning all the we can; reading the books, listening to podcasts, watching the webinars, etc. and want to know more so we can get started with as much information as possible.

Any other advice on the process and flipping would be greatly appreciated! 

If your leasing application process is thorough and well thought out, and if your lease agreement has been well drafted by your local attorney and if it includes clauses that permit you/your property manager enough latitude to maneuver and anticipate undesirable tenant behaviors, both actions and inactions, and you have operational processes which align with enforcement of your lease, then you've done all you can do to reduce this inherent risk of an undesirable tenant.  

Tenant stopped paying rent before 2 months of the lease expiring, property manager filed for eviction process but tenant vacated the property before sheriff served the notice.
