One thing you might add to your list of "to do's" is create a "Walk Through Form" for the tenant to sign when you give them possession so down the road there are no disagreements over the condition of the property when it is time to disperse their security deposits when they eventually move out. 

We got judgement of possession for both cases it’s easy don’t wait just give 10 day notice and file.

I am seeking a small group of folks that can do the same and add to skills and resources I don't possess or am not strong at, and take some of the load off/ shift some of theirs.

I already have the property but we don't take possession until Nov 2.

You really don’t want to give up possession here.

As @Jon Kessler said, it's best to have the purchase agreement say the property will be vacant when you take possession. 

@Jerry Hodges,  you might try adverse possession.   

All I did for the entirety of possession was collect a check.

I delivered a signed PA to the title company and should have possession of the property in a couple weeks.

I'm on the fence about contacting a lawyer, just because I don't know if I should be going after the HOA for the work to be completed due to their negligence with the initial inspection that was supposed to be done before possession, or the builder who was supposed to complete the work regardless.
