Stretch your boundaries and your comfort zone, don't jump them.Lastly, if you would not want to live in the area, or building, as a renter, then don't buy the building, nor in the area.

That was kind of my thoughts is I got quoted for 8.9% on a HELOC but running the numbers on a long-term rental just doesn’t make sense. buy more doors and let rent and debt pay down and equity do its staying overtime but there’s also a lot of pucker factor if everything doesn’t go according to plan. 

You would simply place all names of occupants on the notice, pursue eviction, execute eviction of those you did not want to stay and let the others stay. 

Looking forward to staying consistent & closing my first deal in the next 3-6 months.

It sounds like you’re facing a lot of challenges, but you’re already taking the first steps by seeking advice and staying open to new strategies.

If they fail to leave, evict based on the habitual lease violations.If you can't figure out how to do this, or don't feel comfortable doing it, then the other option is to allow them to finish their lease and then require them to move out when it ends.

Are you saying "don't read, don't research, stay off the internet, just connect with a team" isn't great advice?

If they were trying to screw you they would just stay for 3-6 months without paying.

Out of state investors should stay in the better areas.
