Jonathan, The tenant does not currently owe any money.

It gives you access to funds at a relatively low interest rate, and you can repay it as the rental generates income.

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.

One of my applicants showed up with little credit but no defaults, no evictions, and only traffic violations and verified income high enough to cover well over 3 times the rent and I accepted the tenant despite there being some signs.He paid the rent in time for the most part until a few weeks ago when he stopped and I could not get ahold of him.

Congrats @Emily Pena - I'm also an agent (working mostly with investors), property manager and an investor myself (currently owning 26 rental units). 

The two-family property now has better curb appeal and the rental units are much more desirable, which has helped me increase my rental income.

I am from Iowa so our goal would be to use it in the winter months (dec,jan,fab) and try and break even off the income from the remaining months. 

I am currently working for a local on your lot builder.

@Jay Fayz for SFR (1-4 family) Classifications are mostly opinion-based.Not aware of anyone tracking eviction rates, except Evictions Lab nonprofit that doesn't like landlords.Here's some info that might helpt:---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend 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 assume you currently have a residential mortgage that does not have a pre-payment penalty.
