Nothing wrong with only a couple of properties that print money.Side note: I was a mech Engineer in Winnipeg before I switched to being a Realtor and I was making $73k as an EIT so you should definitely be getting paid more.

Evictions here are quick and will definitely not take 12 months.

Jimmy  - Thank you for the input, definitely buy and hold.

If not, I most definitely would reach out to the tenant, introduce myself and ask if they are going to be out by the 31st or the 1st, I would communicate  to the tenant as if I know they were told they are expected to leave, otherwise you may find they "do not know" they need to leave even if they actually know they need to leave....In the case they claim they are not aware they need to leave, you would need to follow the laws in the state you purchased the property, usually you can find that info on the states judicial branch or speak with a landlord tenant attorney. 

With my in-laws living in Augusta,  I visit the area a few times a year, and it definitely seems like there’s some potential in the market.  

Lets definitely connect!

Definitely worth factoring into your strategy, though

It definitely takes discipline, a growth mindset, and educating yourself but you can certainly do it!

I will most definitely reach out

This will definitely help dial in my neighborhood search.
