The landlord has only been in possession of the duplexes for a couple months since his mother passed and he inherited.

Order of possession granted and constable came. 

The fed moratorium does not prevent you for evicting for possession. 

In general, I would advise against taking possession of an "owner occupied" property with tenants still living there.

Primary targets are located in cities (100k+) with positive population growth over the past five years; possessing easily identifiable macroeconomics.

I'm a tech guy at heart, so I'll be all over the smart gadgets to help streamline things.Yes, once in have this running and I have possession, I'll be sure to post my deal.

Maybe in FL you would have a chance but in most places you would not be able to evict for possession (today) for the reasons you listed.

You may in fact be responsible for rent until the landlord can re-rent the unit, but the landlord also doesn't get to "double dip" (charge you 3 months rent if s/he rents it out in a month).In practical terms, you may have some leverage as far as mutually agreeing to end the lease, vs. forcing the landlord to evict you to regain possession of the unit, especially in the current environment when the eviction courts are quite backed up.I'm definitely not a lawyer, and you're asking a legal question, so I would urge you to consult one on this.

Just don’t take possession of the money.

You do this by sending a 30-day eviction notice to regain possession.
