Since these were recorded C for deeds full foreclosures had to be done to get the folks out.. then the second one defaults. then the third.. 10 to 20% default rate is the norm with this type of deal.. next thing you know they cant pay the underlying and the sellers are screaming like stuck pigs.. ( the original seller) These guys had no money to prosecute the foreclosures so the people they sold to just squatted.. .

We are in Tampa so a similar market.We provide a starter set which is clearly communicated to guests (thought some people do not like it and clearly do not read which you cannot help) generally consisting of:- 2 Laundry Pods- 2 Dishwasher pods- 2 Rolls of Toilet Paper per bathroom- 2 Paper Towel Rolls- 2 Trashbags- All soaps are refillable including dish soap, hand soap, and body washes/shampoos.They are expected to get their own should they run out of anything. 

You are going to send your wife to personally unclog that toilet.

Such as unplugging smoke detectors, flushing things down toilet not meant for the toilet, etc...

That's been pretty well fleshed out as the idiots path, persons with diddly squat for $ buying SubTo. 

Avoiding the occupants from squatting is best addressed with background checks, employment verifications, and references before signing the lease.

I get the feeling you don't enjoy being a landlord, so I agree that you should consider selling and investing in something that doesn't include tenants and toilets.

Clogged toilets, sinks, etc.

After 16 years of Tenants Toilets and Trash we 1031ed NNN in 2019.

You do not want to be taking 2AM calls at night about a clogged toilet from across the US.
