@Terrence EvansIt depends on the details:  "Residential" notes/mortgages have more procedural requirements that you must comply with compared to "commercial" notes/mortgages.

Generally you can visit the planning department and ask what the procedures are, or if it's possible to do. 

Yes I think it will impact existing foreclosures in a few ways: (1) it reduces the statute of limitations from 5 years to 1 year effective as of July 2014 for existing cases; (2) it allows homeowner and condo associations to speed up the bank's foreclosure action using the "show cause" procedure; and (3) I think it may have "awakened" the banks that they can use the "show cause" procedure (a law that's been on the books in Florida since the 90's) to speed up foreclosures.

RESPA Rules on AgentsSection 9 of the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act prohibits sellers from conditioning the home sale on the use of a specific title insurance company, and in fact violators can be subject to penalties, with the most ­typical being a fine of up to three times the amount of the title insurance fee.Section 1024.2 of RESPA says a “required use” exists when a person must use a particular provider of settlement services to have access to a distinct service or property, if the person will pay for (or pay a charge attributable in whole or in part to) the settlement service.It’s not considered a “required use” if the seller offers to pay the buyer’s title charges.

I went through a few steps and got the final call explaining prices and procedure, I have arrive at a crossroad.

Sometimes this is more pronounced in with lower grade tenants in the city, but I see it also on the Milwaukee East Side.Here is the good news: cycling tenants out is standard operating procedure for value-add apartment investors.

I lost money because I didn't want to deal with the hassle of learning my local eviction laws and procedures.

@Reya RipetThis is unprofessional advice and also illegal in Georgia and would likely fall under self-help eviction . 2010 Georgia CodeTITLE 44 - PROPERTYCHAPTER 7 - LANDLORD AND TENANTARTICLE 3 - DISPOSSESSORY PROCEEDINGS§ 44-7-50 - Demand for possession; procedure upon a tenant's refusal; concurrent issuance of federal lease termination noticeI agree with other responses to let the court system procedures take care of this .

You don’t have the processes, procedures and knowledge necessary to limit risk2.

It's bad enough that the city proper has 90 distinct neighborhoods, the rest of the county has 100 small municipalities, each with their own procedures and personnel in place.Also great to hear that you found good contractors to work with.
