Investment Info:Single-family residence fix & flip investment.

I bought a primary residence last October that I planned on renting out come this October (next month) and would love some advice from more experienced folks on my next steps, because I came up with a few options. 

If that is now a private residence, you could go after them, but again the best case would be for insurance to handle this

A lot of lenders will only let you do it if it’s your primary residence and i’m trying to avoid that.

@Michael Upson is this for your primary residence or an investment property?

You don't know the law, you don't know how to handle difficult tenants, and you aren't local to work on it.This is what Ohio law says: “The tenant shall not unreasonably withhold consent for the landlord to enter into the dwelling unit in order to inspect the premises, make ordinary, necessary, or agreed repairs, decorations, alterations, or improvements, deliver parcels that are too large for the tenant’s mail facilities, supply necessary or agreed services, or exhibit the dwelling unit to prospective or actual purchasers, mortgagees, tenants, workmen, or contractors.”I would give the tenant a short, direct warning that they have 72 hours to coordinate with the vendor and set a schedule for repairs.

The five most landlord-friendly states are:West VirginiaArkansasLouisianaNorth CarolinaAlabama AlabamaAlabama residents enjoy a low cost of living and a thriving economy.

. - Two single family homes in a community reinvestment act, therefore only require 3% down, get 1% of rate, and receive $6,000 towards closing costs.In order to receive these extremely low down payments, i would have to technically live in the residence for a few months as they do not offer these for investment properties. 

One is our primary residence and the other 4 are used as rental properties.
