Really simple things that should have been easily taken care of by customer service but I could not get them to understand the problem I was encountering and it would take days to get a response.

At least, I've never encountered two that looked alike.

Your experience with the DSCR loan process sounds frustrating, but it's not entirely uncommon for borrowers to encounter last-minute changes, especially in complex transactions like cash-out refinances. 

The biggest obstacle I'm encountering now is the making up the initial down payment.

And once you've got an approved applicant, then you present them with your lease, which needs to be comprehensive in its protection for you and of your property (mine is 24 pages and counting as I encounter new issues, and it contains fines for certain violations) - check your state laws.

Hi @Ellen Feiss I agree with @Ty Coutts that you should start with informal, friendly, face-to-face conversations with the tenants to establish rapport, especially as you have some lead time here before next April.People don't like surprises or having to scramble, so if you are able to let them know your plans in advance, if they are reasonable people they should appreciate the extra lead time.This is especially true if their rents are currently very under market - they will have sticker shock when they look at what other units are renting for, and have to spend more time finding a new unit (if you'll be asking them to leave).If you have to move into one of the units yourself, I'm surprised you (or your lender) didn't make it a condition of the purchase and make the seller have the unit vacant for you.Sooner or later in rental real estate, you will have to establish a relationship with an eviction attorney.

Now that is one I haven't encountered.
