The only guarantee you have in taking over a building is it is occupied,, yes their current leases written or verbal,, they  carry over, but no one can guarantee the tenant will continue to pay. 

Now I have some equity to play with.

I plan to continue to add rental units and make real estate investing my full time gig. 

And then, a jury trial date is set in another three weeks (not sure why it was being granted as we have all the evidence to prove that the tenants have not been paying rent)Our lawyer advised us new fees for the jury trial... we have already paid for 2 trials, a sheriff eviction.... but I cannot see the end of it (since it seems like it automatically granted the tenant's right to drag the case and continue to live in our house for free ..) not sure how much more are we going to pay for the eviction legal fees and how long it's going to take...

My sister needs a downpayment for the new place, and I'm not sure my mom wants to play lender there again.

I realize this is a completely different type of investment from a mobile home park, but please just play along.

If you are unable to act quickly, you will continue to miss out.I think in your price range, you'll have the most luck (or inventory) in Bloomfield.
