I like 38109 but you have to know the neighborhoods down to the streets.

If you evict, how much money will it cost in legal fees, court costs, lost rent (because the tenant will probably stop paying), and vacancy while you prep and fill the vacancy?

Curious to know more about people who have done this successfully - at face value it seems like it wouldn't be worth the hassle of switching between the two strategies.

If you want to talk thru this, let me know! 

It depends on how actively or passively you would like to build your portfolio.

How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

How are rents and prices.

How did the properties you purchased turn out, and were there any unexpected issues like liens or repairs?

I realize that I probably need to hire a financial expert to truly assist me with this question, but I’d like to ask the community how they’d look at this situation beforehand because my wife and I are relatively new at all of this.

@Alethia Hines I don't have any direct experience, but one person I know that did have success in this sector had made great connections with city county folks.
