I encourage you to get involved, ask questions, be open to feedback, and allow other seasoned investors to help guide you along your journey of Real Estate Investing.Best of Luck!

If you're talking about CC debt and low credit scores I encourage you to correct those issues.

Otherwise @Ronald Rohde is a popular local attorney here on BP and in Dallas that you might want to consult.You could of course use a 3 day quit letter or whatever notice is required in your lease and see if that is enough to encourage them to move out. 

Certainly purchase and keep your property open to it but I would certainly encourage you to run numbers based on the standard rent method.Hope all of that makes sense.

I would encourage you to get involved in any real estate investing clubs in your market, search for other investors in your area, and gain input from others on investing in general.

I’m afraid I DON’T have encouraging words for you….Active real estate investing is an ENTREPRENEURAL activity, if you’re like MOST people and more toward the groupthink side than you probably should consider PASSIVE real estate investing which is more investment than business.  

Basically encourage them to want to negotiate and pay something.

@Andres Martin thank  you for the kind welcome and encouragement!! 

I'd encourage you to do a 3.5% or 5% down owner occupant loan in a more expensive market, local or drivable, over buying a cheap property to cash flow in Ohio or Nebraska - which will require 20% down per property.

Finally, we're hopefully all here on BiggerPockets to help and encourage each other so I'm trying to not discourage people in their endeavours unless I have a personal knowledge or experience about the situation that I believe they would benefit by knowing.
