If it's a verbal tenancy, you have to show a practice of collecting rent that the tenant is no longer abiding by (or perhaps tenant shows up, and honestly states they were obligated to pay rent and haven't done so).When the eviction case is submitted, you give the tenants names, e-mail, phone, address.

These markets feature turnkey properties, such as new builds or fully rehabbed homes that are tenant-ready, with systems that still have about 10 years of life remaining and property management teams already in place.

Hi, Anthony, yes, I have had a lot of trouble with DM returning incorrect data - wrong owner or owner not found, wrong or no mailing address, very few sale dates, and now when I filter on lead status, it does not return all leads with that status.

Hard money would be the easiest and most common route to fund the purchase/rehab.

You definitely want to use a thorough screening method like rentprep.com that gets their income, credit, background check, and call at least 3 references (make sure to verify them by address/job and then their name).  

From there it is really just a matter of determining comps, cost to rehab a property, and your timeline.I have helped several investors flip their first home in Austin and learn how to do it effectively.

You can force appreciation by rehabbing and such - so that might be a shorter term way to go?  

I just used my attorney as our registered agent, PO Box as our business address, and a separate LLC as the holding company. $50/ LLC and it literally takes less than 20 minutes for each LLC and costs less than $20/ yr. to renew each LLC.

Quote from @Jordan Wilkerson: Hi Greg, can you connect with me this group as well.DM me and provide an email address

Would that be, for example, if the PM says, "I manage a duplex for John Smith in Turlock," then I call John as a reference, ask John a few questions, and then ask John the address of his duplex so I can later look it up on the county website and verify if he is the owner?
