So if you need to you can proceed with eviction process and not delay further.

I have found a contractor I trust should any repairs be needed, secured a cheap month-to-month rental in the area I will be looking for when I start my search in April 2024, and am in the process of interviewing lenders recommended by BP and friends who own property in the area. 

Make sure you know what the process is for the lease transfer.

Hi biggerpockets community,I could use some advice on a situation that has come to light with my current lender.I refinanced a duplex property in 02/2021 to a new lender.I am just finding out today that during the refinance process the new lender/title company input the address incorrectly and only has one side of the duplex address included on title and not both addresses.This incorrect adress situation has caused a series of insurance billing issues that i am just realizing and the lender will not let me include corrected addresses without proper title or usps confirmation.

I reside in Texas, but I have some family that moved into the San Diego property to maintain the mortgage as I move through the probate process.

Your process seems like a good way to determine cash flow / potential of an investment property, if you have a realtor you can have them pull rental comps for a decent picture of the rental markert as well. 

Learning programming is a competitive advantage in real estate to obtain quality data, automate processes, and analyze deals at scale.

I would work with a credit repair company to speed up this process.

Please advise if my thought process is correct here, thank you.

Does this process take a while?
