I've never gone through the zoning change process that you mention although I've heard it can be very profitable.  

Have 89 acres we are in the process of buying.  

Focus on finding a replacement with strong tenant screening processes and performance guarantees.

It can be a long process if you don't narrow it down.

Quote from @Cynthia Lee: Accepting even $1 could be seen as evidence of a payment plan, and the entire eviction process could be derailed.Once you start the eviction process, to not accept any payment unless it is a full payment in certified funds (cash, money order, cashiers check).

As @Eli Konig mentioned above, going into RE right now without a lot of experience and without knowledge of a local market I think makes TK a decent beginning option.I've been in communication with REI and going through their process right now.

Even with my former partner (who was our 'PM / GC' on site for our projects), it was sometimes tough navigating the process, managing budgets and costs, and keeping everyone in line, including him. 

Any legitimate property manager will be able to handle the entire eviction process from start to finish.

However, I’m unsure of the actual process of paying myself as a business owner.Here are some questions I’m hoping to get clarity on:How do you legally and practically pay yourself from your Airbnb income?

Geez, there’s so much opinion, emotions, beliefs, and personal experience in this thread.
