I've gone through evictions that result in judgements, but have never gone straight to judgments. 

Long-term capital gains taxed at rates from 0%-20%, depending on your tax bracket.Whether or not to put the stock sales proceeds into an IRA requires analysis and judgement as you'll be foregoing the ability to offset personal income with paper losses generated by the real estate.   

Charlotte is not the best option due to an average airbnb market and high housing cost.Here is my overall approach and I would love some general feedback.I am leveraging airdna considering some of the statistics above to target a profitable airbnb market, then I am cross checking that with available homes and making the judgement call with whether the property I can afford, if set up correctly, can compete with solid listings making at least 60 k.

We are getting better at enforcing all of our rental agreement terms quickly and moving people out who continue to be a problem and those that can't or won't pay.We end up writing off bad debt instead of going to small claims court, because the chances of getting money after a judgement is slim and a lot of work.

You will get a default judgement but then you'll have to collect on it - meaning you'll need to know where he banks so you can attach his bank account or where other assets are located. 

This is not being "mean".I know a landlord that only rents to tenants who are not "judgement proof."

Lease violations and non-payment of rent are contractual breaches and outside circumstances of the tenant should not affect the judgement.

use your best judgement. before i end the call, i always remind them that i'm ready to buy and ask they to get me a call if they find something.

I ran the numbers and agreed to purchase site un-seen (trusted her judgement + pictures / videos + numbers worked).2021 Jan - closed on it, JV-ed with a money partner and with a contractor (known to me)5 bed / 2 bath / 1 acre / semi-rural bungalow / Petawawa, ON, Canada162K PP / 70K reno / 30K financing, closing, transfer tax / 292K selling price2021 June - Sold & exitedMade a 30K profit - split 3-ways.While working on this, I signed for my second, third and fourth flips. 

First, I am spending money to file in court and then taking my time to show up to court and then hoping I can force them to pay the judgement which is FAR FAR from certain.
