@Vanessa Switzler Congratulations on your move to a new market.  

We would NOT need to order a 1007 market rent report if we had either:1st months rent and security deposit2 months of rent deposits (canceled checks)If it’s a departing residence we could only use rental income to offset monthly payment (we couldn’t use extra income if 75% of the lease was 3,000 and mortgage was only $2,500 I couldn’t give $500 of income to boost DTI unless he has moved out of the home for some time and we have 1 year of history of being a landlord (which it sounds like we do, just not sure if he’s just moving out of this home).

You can't help it when the tenant allows someone else to move in that you didn't have the chance to screen.However, hopefully your lease allows you to evict for them having someone else move in that wasn't on the lease to begin with.

Move on to a different tenant. 

(moved here in 2019)

One side moved out and the unit has been vacant for 6 months. 

My neighbor needs to sell and doesn't want to move.

I know of the property and the owner's issues so this was an easy move for me.

Hi everyone, I inherited a tenant when I purchased a property 6 years ago and this tenant moved out.

This approach allowed us to move quickly and efficiently, ensuring the project stayed on track and was completed without delays.
