Let's talk,DanIve actually been looking into buying a condo myself as an investment, I have a few rules, needs to be with both good hoa management & relatively cheap fee (bellow $600 a month) needs to be in area where I’m not competing against other new construction apartments, needs to be an area where even townhomes are so expensive you are not competing, I.e. upper nw, nova, Bethesda etc. needs to be 1990’s or newer in most cases.

With any kind of lease violation, the severity of the issue, documentation, objective criteria for correcting the issue etc all play into whether an eviction will succeed.Given that, for any lease violation, beyond what you have already done which is great!
