@Dennis Santa PaulaIt should not take more than 3-4 months to evict a tenant and that is even considering sheriff's office is buys.I did one recently and it took me less than 3 months.You should find out if they did file a failure topay rent, or not , if you have a case number or notIf none of it is available you can file online ( there is web site that does it for you) and start the process yourself or find somebody who can on your behalf.12 months is ridiculous , I would fire current prop manager immediately.

Does anyone know good web sites?

If it doesn't you can pick a market anywhere that does with some world wide web research!

It's the best free info on the web!

I’ll be da()$&ed if I put up all the money time risk and resources to get the property and some random tenant tells me how it’s going to be and what renovations he will be doing !

City and county governments are fickle beasts prone to changes on a whim.You can just search the web to find multiple municipalities who change directions overnight then back.

I would reach out to them by phone, email, text, facebook, or any other avenue, and I would post a negative review on Google, Yelp, Facebook, and every other web site that lets the public know they refuse to communicate with you.

Yep and interstate sales over the web used to not be Sales Taxable (except for Use tax which almost nobody pays). 

Just study the market using Zillow, Craigslist, Apartments.com, or other web sites.

Example taken from another web site because I'm not smart enough to explain it clearly:You buy a rental home for $100,000 with $20,000 down.
