under the right circumstances, you maybe able to get the loan, then place the property in service shortly after and get the best of both worlds.

If you were 30 days late they started eviction right away, if you paid up it would reset the clock until you were again 30 days behind.I got a note in the mail to say that this was my last chance and if I was late again when I renewed I would be MTM and that meant that I would have resign the lease or initial it every month,rent was $100 more for MTM leases, and if I was late while I was MTM it would not be renewed.Luckily I got that letter at the same time I got permanent employment with a huge IT Services company.Having permanent employment instead of working for a few months getting laid off and working again for a couple months fixed the money issue.You might want to do the same sort of thing.Raise the rent, make sure they know the rent is being raised because they cannot pay on time, and if they are late again, they will be kicked out even if they pay up.

How much does it cost to hire someone to evict a tenant, or are there all-in-one services for just eviction only? 

I am not ready to list the property but know how important finding a good cleaning service is and do not live in the area and was wondering if anyone has referrals for reliable cleaners in this area ? 

Once you get that setup if you want to continue being active I'd buy a new primary every 1-2 years and move around while making your old places into rentals.

It uses the rents to qualify to debt service the property with 15% to 20% down.

Competitive Strategy and Operations: How do you maintain operational competitiveness against larger chains like Wawa, especially in terms of pricing, service speed, and customer experience?

You will need, or should have, an existing reserve of funds to service this potential rental.
