@Mark BeekmanI think I tagged you by mistake.

When you use hard money, there is no room for error, mistakes, delays, market hickups, etc.  

Don't make the mistake of thinking you can read a book, listen to a podcast or attend a weekend seminar and become an investor. 

Obviously, investors buying these "existing" turnkey properties would want to use their deferred maintenance to cover costs of paint and carpet replacement once the tenants move out.The biggest mistake with an investor purchasing a turnkey property is removed the 8-10% deferred maintenance from the monthly rent since they assume there will be none if they bought the property from a reputable turnkey provider.

Thank you Greg, that definitely tapped into the worst case scenario fear that you think about when starting out.  

I made a mistake not keeping up with rents when I had health issues.

Not only is that not a good area, it's one of the worst in Orlando.I don't know that I would agree with @Brent Paul, Orlando is a really solid rental market with good appreciation potential, provided you buy in the right area.To @Nathanial Dunne's point...Run!  

I've made this mistake, sounds like you know what your doing though.

Better this way, cheaper mistakes to learn from!  

They will move out themselves in January under the premises that it was their choice and not an eviction.However, December as you know here in MA is one of the worst times for moving...
