If not, I most definitely would reach out to the tenant, introduce myself and ask if they are going to be out by the 31st or the 1st, I would communicate  to the tenant as if I know they were told they are expected to leave, otherwise you may find they "do not know" they need to leave even if they actually know they need to leave....In the case they claim they are not aware they need to leave, you would need to follow the laws in the state you purchased the property, usually you can find that info on the states judicial branch or speak with a landlord tenant attorney. 

Just need someone to come show properties to tenants looking to tour.

U need to flip the return  75% to the money and 25% to you if have any hope of finding someone to do this that is not friends and family.. 10 to 15% is way to little for the risk of being a gap funder.. if the project does not work gap funder is the one who loses money..

Once you have property it makes it so much easier to bring in investors and partners.

I would get a bridge loan to acquire the property if it needs to be rehabbed and/or closed quickly.

They will tell you exactly what is needed, so there's no confusion.

It was a big project in terms of the amount of work it needed, I just ran out of time with my lender going through the garbage with the contractor, finding a new one, and finishing taking the longest. other than that I would've let it sit on the market to get closer to what I actually wanted for the property.

@Huong LuuIn my opinion, presuming you need the money - it is better to cash-out refi the property.  

Quote from @Brandi Jefferson: Hi Jaycee,Tampa doesn't have much inventory on MF, so I'm starting my research outside my market, and learning what I would need to make that happen, since house hacking is likely not an option.

Consider temporary work if needed and be proactive in finding new leads.2.
