But the problem is and was that a lot of tenants are not paying rent and very hard to get them out (almost impossible).

When you lack trust in what you are hearing or seeing, typically, it is almost impossible to move forward. 

Unfortunately, you have to hit them at the 'right time' but that's impossible to do unless they're in a difficult situation and want to get rid of the asset. 

@Chris SeveneyIt is impossible to pay too much attention to Dr. 7E's posts!

:(I have been able to raise rents on a few properties to get everything covered, but a few of the houses would be at a price point that would be nearly impossible to rent out in our small town.

People who say something is impossible are often interrupted by someone doing it.

Forget the 6month idea, nearly impossible to sell before holding for 2 years.That's some of the basics.You've probably got some good counties around you to try.   

@Jacob Sherman @Steve HiltabiddleIt seam's like it'll be pretty difficult if not impossible to get financing from a professional HML for a sheriff's sale.

Generally speaking, a verbal agreement is impossible to prove or enforce.

Doing that is nearly impossible on its own as it is.
