Hello my name is Fernando just stepping into the renting and landlord area.

We have regular evictions at this scale and they typically will take a few months up to six or seven months if the tenant contest/hires an attorney.

This is an okay fix for now, next step I am looking at checkbook control to increase flexibility. 

Then you should go on to the next step which is locate a city/state you want to invest in and build your core 4 which means finding a great investor-friendly realtor, contractor, property manager, and attorney

But I think you could take this a step further and instead of charging no rent, your rent could be the cost of the taxes and insurance annually.

You'll have better luck playing Lotto than getting into real estate thinking you're just smart enough to wing it on you own or following some idiotic step by step formula. 

All in all though whichever method you choose congratulations on the steps towards financial freedom!

Hey Nathan, congrats on taking these steps.

Its a step by step process you have to work your way through.  

Overall, your next actional step should be attending local REI meet-ups.
