So we bought a house in a city auction, it has a person living inside, after traying to make a deal without luck, we do an eviction, win in firts instance with the city court, now the person have done delay tactics like calling sick, saying she will do a redemption and later just dissapering and right now asking for an appeal in short its like 10 months so far living there for free....Can we do something to try to pressure or something?

Evictions for non payment of rent are easy to win, for a violation of the lease not so much.

You can look at your amo schedule right now and see how much interest you will pay if you stick to that schedule, but if you win the lottery and pay off the balance tomorrow, you won't pay that interest.

A lawyer that was recommended by a friend said once I win, I can only recoup ~20% of the claim, which makes me want to reconsider a new lawyer.This is a condo in state of Arizona.Thank you

Also, if he is selling the property at a higher than market value, its a win-win for owner.

I've talked to plenty of guys who win at the rehab game.

We try to avoid this by working out win/win scenarios with current tenants needing to break their lease. 

@Santino LauricellaMaybe someone else can offer advice, but I would think that so long as the other tenant covers your mortgage payment (and maybe even some utilities), it would be a win for you as you'll be able to save money for another property while having your tenant build equity in the house-hacked property.Disclaimer, I've never house-hacked.

We've got something where we're in a great position - to see long term appreciation on the asset - and cash flow throughout the term - it's a win already - but really something I think in 10 years we look back and are amazed at.

Either way it is a win for you and a win for them.
