I would remind them that the house is in the condition in which they rented it and they accepted it as is.

Brand new Central Heat and Air conditioning system.

Regarding the property condition, thats on the inspection report and hopefully you went through it with a fine tooth comb.

The January 2025 report from the Austin Board of REALTORS® (ABoR) shows stable housing prices and balanced market conditions in the Austin metro as we start the new year.

The fastest legal way is likely to pay them to leave (only pay after they are out and if they left it in good condition). 

If so, I’d love to hear what types of questions you include in the form.Do you focus on the condition of the property, the move-out process, or any other aspects of the tenant experience?

My question to you is why would you go under contract at market price when the house was on market for 100 days , in worse condition than comps , and aware it needed upgrades ? 

While it's still possible to use older comps if they’re in the same neighborhood, you’ll need to adjust for differences in condition, renovations, and updates. 

The market has shifted a lot in the last two years with rising interest rates, changing rental demand, and shifting economic conditions.

It’s important to do your due diligence on the specific properties and local market conditions to ensure they meet your investment goals.If you'd like more information on how to finance these types of properties feel free to DM me.
