It may cost some money to file, but as soon as they get served the summons and complaint papers, they will most likely leave.

The reason I’m asking is because the numbers in the midwest pencil out on paper really nicely, however, when it comes to the actual management of the properties the actual returns may be quite lower. 

NopeI just want them to sign the papers so I can move on.

For rural counties, sometimes you have to go to the county courthouse and look at the paper records.Google for "Orange County land records" and see what you find. 

Do you have the tenant fill out a paper application first and then if that passes, have them go to Cozy to fill out the application there and pay for the checks?

The bad location, may get you a 10 cap on paper vs a 6 cap for the good location, but the value you can add, increased rents and being able to actually collect rents will make up for it in the end

Because we were "friend" so I did not ask for any license or any paper that proof I authorised him to do it. 

There is no formal agreement, no papers signed, nothing like that. 

He claims he needs to get the papers to find out how much the reverse mortgage is so that leaves me with my question.

If they don’t pay immediately I would serve them notice and then if they still don’t pay then serve them eviction papers.
