I don't think you are being honest with the math.The most expensive county in Maryland has an average rent of $2,300 for a 3-bed home.

Purchase price: $112,000 This home was purchased with a $0 down VA Loan, lived in for 1.5 years then turned into a rental.

By starting the eviction process now, you'll be in a better position to protect your investment and avoid further delays or complications.

I don't recall a tenant getting a say in this.

We have a key box at our office with a spare key in them.

  - I quickly learned it was easier to go to that same bank in advance and ask for purchase + rehab financing all in one loan, one set of closing costs and it takes any the stress of worrying about the refinance. 

In some states there is no redemption. 

Quote from @Charles Kannon: I lived in my home in South Carolina as my principal residence for all of the last 10 yrs, moved, then sold with owner-financing. 3.5 yrs later after sale, the buyer re-sells the home and sends me full loan payoff.

It is in my book (available in January) and the score sheet is part of my forms package available for purchase.

Quote from @Selina Giarla: I have been in long term rentals for about 15 years.
