The tenants have been warned. 

For anyone who took the time to read this and can share any advice, warnings or encouragement, thank you.J Whitehead

I always give a 2.5-3 month warning period so people can move if they want to.

I'm not a big fan of having partners on deals to start with, but having a partner who has investment properties that are in disrepair would be a warning sign to me. 

Establishing trust and open communication with a warning can sometimes spark a change within your tenant.If the problem continues despite your efforts to resolve it with a warning, it may be necessary to take legal action to avoid losing out on further rental income.

I would love to chat, but I warn you that I am sporadic at best on Bigger Pockets, much better on email.

I will bring 2 sample inspections to review with them and warn that they all sound like the house is about to fall down.

Don't be like me and do this, it rarely goes well.Yes, I warn people against this all the time.

This could include a warning and a timeline to stop smoking on the property.

Quote from @Joseph Stern: Tampa, Orlando, Miami, Broward, Jacksonville and their surrounding areas are all booming right now and can be great long term hold plays that still will cash flow if you find the right deals.
