In Ohio, the property manager usually can't file the eviction complaint in court unless they're an attorney.

Learn the lawsDon't use a contract "off the internet", laws vary by state and are also regulated on a federal level Learn the financing techniques correctlyDon’t skip parts of the processDon’t ever do a “kitchen table” closingUse the proper deedAn attorney can help you with the legal work, but the rest you are on your ownYour guru will not bail you out“Investing” in someone else’s deal by providing a small 2nd loan so the “investor” can pay for “cash to the seller” and for “closing costs” so he can do the deal is a very bad planKnow what problems can ariseLearn the responses and solutions to problems before they are needed Know everything there is to know about Title and what that meansKnow who a "protected class" individual isLearn the "back doors"Learn human natureUnderstand timelinesUnderstand regulation enforcement (some of these "mistakes" have a 10 year statue of limitations ( they can charge you 10 years AFTER you do the transaction) and carry hefty fines and possible imprisonmentThe court doesn't accept "I didn't know" for an answer"Know that the source of the lead plays a serious role in some states and federallyKnow how much of a "profit" pushes the boundaries to invite an investigationYou can be sued by the seller if you don’t do things correctlyYou are automatically at fault if an investigator or attorney or regulator gets involved.

@Colleen F. unfortunately, AFAIK, there is no other resource than go to small claims court and go after her, which will take me $2-3K in additional legal fees.

Thoughts and suggestions or too complex and take the hit on capital gains tax as I sell my rentals?

I have actually done this and can say that it is a pretty complex process with many rules.

To update my December 4 comment: The filing requirement is back on as of December 23, after an appellate court ruling.

Completing AP requires the other party to file a suit in court during which the judge determines that the case has merits, and ultimately transfers the property to the filer.

ALSO, I have not had to do an eviction following a partial payment agreement (so I don't know exactly how that would pan out in our courts), all of my tenants have so far completed their payment agreements as signed.Multifamily Northwest has forms for these types of things available via the Rental Forms Center at https://rentalformscenter.com/ Their forms are typically well reviewed by local attorneys; as you'll note, on the Partial Rent Payment Receipt there is verbiage specifically about if the landlord has/has not served a termination notice and reserving the landlords right to eviction if the agreement is not completed. 

Today, the injunction was struck down. Register your corporations by Jan 13, 2025

I'll be in court on Tuesday.
