Give them notice that their lease will end and you expect them out by a specific date/time.

How long are you expecting to hold and do you have the money to purchase in San Diego?

@Kaleb JohnsonRecommend 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?

What I decided to do was work in what I was interested in and it led me to be an experienced real estate agent specializing in wholesaling off market properties in PA region specifically Philadelphia and surrounding areas such as Montgo, Delco etc.

There are often local Facebook groups for specific strategies 

In that time, I've purchased two duplexes in Beverly, MA.

I would recommend getting a free cost/benefit analysis to see if you specifically could benefit from the study.Real Estate Professional Status
