Squatters can now be locked out of a property and their possessions removed, but a landlord CANNOT physically remove the squatters themselves.The local police are supposed to enforce these laws and assist landlords in removing squatters.The reality is that when you call the Detroit Police to remove squatters:1) The police often don’t know/care about squatter laws and state you must take the squatters to court to evict them.

@Nick WimmelYou can get decent cash flow and demand for rentals is likely to stay strong in the area given the proximity to major job centers in Cincinnati and Dayton

Appreciation, maintenance, neighborhood, eviction rate, proximity, condition, etc.

If so, invest.Then, ask yourself does this property provide the characteristics you need for it to give you your return-- location, rental demand, buying demand, physical structure, etc.

With regard to the proximity to the beach, I tend to have a beach distance of 15 min or 5 mile rule, whichever is less. 

One area can show great signs but literally cross the railroad tracks and it’s a different world.Be aware of these types of physical delineation.If you are getting no demand from qualified applicants then I would say it’s not in a margin of a gentrifying neighborhood.  

In areas like Frisco, Plano, or Arlington, proximity to major employers and universities like TCU or SMU can make a big difference.Stay Curious and PersistentReal estate investing is a marathon, not a sprint.

Population and economic growth, strong tourism, proximity to other New England cities.

Digitize physical receipts for easy storage and use a consistent naming convention for easy sorting - 2024.03.25 Home Depot.- Maintain proper records, such as contracts, settlement statements, and promissory notes.

HI @Ananth SubramanianI have not been in your shoes but have read others that have and from what it sounds like getting the judgement is the easy part and physically collecting the $$ from the tenants is the hardest most impossible part.
