If the client wants the deal, we proceed with getting it under contract.

I believe if something happens and the tenant only has it in their name I am unable to get the proceeds because the check will be written to them. 

I generally try not to sell my properties unless I have to sell in order to have enough proceeds to purchase a bigger and better property (and usually more units).

File an eviction with the court and provide the proper notices (e.g., 10-day notice to pay or vacate for nonpayment of rent).

The clear solution is to simply follow the eviction proceedings as you normally would.Here is one legal sensitivity you need to be aware of. 

If you have evidence of the damage, it is unlikely the tenant will spend the time and money to take you to court.

Our online court records in CT are now automatically dropping tenants' evictions fro the record after 3 yrs, or even less. 

This gives you flexibility and a clearer understanding of how you’ll proceed based on market changes.

With nearly 400 units under management, I've only had to show up in court twice in ten years.

It was a long and expensive journey, but eventually, we won the court battle and were able to move them out.After they were gone, we cleaned up the house and decided to list it as-is instead of flipping it.
