I’ll obviously contact a local attorney but any advice or suggestions would be helpful.  

I’m not local, so I’m trying to get a feel for what it’s actually like making deals in this market right now.

They could also call the local board of realtors and talk to the grievance or professional standards dept to file a complaint.

Welcome to Bigger Pockets and love see local folks getting into real estate investing!

@Brett Riemensnider Following @Caleb Brown's advice, you need to contact a local eviction attorney asap and let them know you have demands for nonpayment of rent that have expired and you'd like to start the eviction process.

We've invested around $50,000 in improvements (central air and hardscaping) and our mortgage is a 30-year fixed at 2.5%, with a PITI of $2400.We think it could rent for $3,750 - $4,000 per month based on local comps.

Albany, Syracuse, Utica, OH, PA, etc.) for cashflow.The challenge in these markets is that demand is through the roof, and many properties either sell at the asking price or above the asking price (Suffolk's sale price average was 1.5% ABOVE the asking price).If I were in your shoes, I'd explore local and remote multi-family options before considering the mid-term rental route.All the best!

Glad you have experience investing locally.
