I do believe in rental units as a long term possession to get into but it is usually thought of a long term investment.  

Tenant has not paid rent since August 2019, her lease is also up as of Feb 2020 and she was sent a 60 day notices by   the attorney that her lease is not being renewed, she still refuses to move, i found out that she has done this at two previous addresses, and she was recently arrested for criminal possession of forged documents, how do get rid of this tenant?

If the tenant was in possession for less than 1 year - 30 days notice.

Many areas and rooms were completely full when we toured the house so in a way it was like Xmas morning when we took possession... it was our first opportunity to really see everything.

If the tenant has not given up possession of the premises, you can't bring a licensee holdover proceeding in court.

They did not appeal possession.

I currently reside in Atlanta, Georgia and possess approximately $1M in home equity from my primary residence.

You already possess the most important component of any successful endeavor.  

Definitely the #1 concern should be getting possession back.Collecting is always nice, but not always realistic.

Check your local laws, but in at least two jurisdictions I know of, the action for possession (Unlawful Detainer) can be granted due to the past due rent or other charges, and ultimately specifies the total amount owed including legal fees.
