My experience in Massachusetts, where it took nearly a year to evict a non-paying tenant, has made me more selective about the locations I invest in.I am looking forward to learning and sharing insights with this community! 

It’s such a great resource for learning and connecting with like-minded investors. where is your property located? 

@Ben CallahanRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

I agree with your approach in aiming for better locations, seems that texas (dallas /FT worth) fits the bill.

At over 4000 sq ft, I'm surprised you won't be able to list for a much higher number to net a decent profit, but without knowing more specifics on the house and location, I am speculating here. 

Since then I have located the area where they entered and sealed it off, however I'm having trouble killing the ones currently living in the attic.

So Augusta, GA is one of the locations that has been on the top of my list.
