I want to not only get the tenant out of the property but I also want to get a monetary judgement against her..

For example, is there a certain (judgement amount owed)/(ARV) % that you could use as a rule of thumb to decide whether to research a sheriff sale listing any further.

To guarantee compliance and make wise judgements, familiarise yourself with lease agreements, rent stabilisation regulations, and other legislation pertaining to tenants.The presence of rent-stabilized units can impact potential rental income and appreciation.

If it doesn't feel right, trust your judgement and move on.

My main reason for having an inspection period was so I could take a closer look at things like the AC ducts/crawl space underneath because it was pouring down rain the day we saw it.

Consider it tuition to the school of landlording.Evict him, get the court judgement and then garnish his wages if you can find his employer.You can keep the SD toward unpaid rent.

The house is almost 100 years old and CapEx is much higher than expectedI skimped on drainage when converting the ADU, and the next year the unit flooded during severe rain in CA.

I already went through the eviction process and got the final judgement from the court.

Do a background check, if they have judgements for non-payment of rent, do NOT rent to them.

Walking the line of fraud isn't a good plan and with the seller as trustee if they file BK, divorce, have a judgement it sticks on the property.
