Property Managment is incredibly difficult to do well, so it can be worth it to pay a little more to find an expert in your market.Good Luck and Happy Hunting!

Guaranteed rent payments, annual (or more often) inspections by the agency, constant pool of motivated tenants.

Now I am at the harvest stage refinancing those apartment complexes in for tons of cash back (tax free again) on brand new incredible Freddie 3 years interest only, 10 year terms between 3.5%-4% fixed NON-RECOURSE loans.  

The house is a wreck and probably needs to be demolished, but I gave her my info, and she said she'd like to get rid of it (she's out of state and motivated to get it off her hands).

I'd pay the first round of treatments, while informing them (and have in lease) that they will be responsible for future costs of pests as motivation to keep the place clean.

You'll run into some who are motivated to sell at a discount.

Brian,Incredible deal!

If they come off aggressive or not well intentioned/motivated when you address the issue, then drop the facts on them (eviction on record/no place to live/court) if they are positive and motivated then work with them and put your hard working self in their shoes and show empathy.

If you hang around five broke people, you will be the sixth.”I am young, almost 21 and frankly the people I’m surrounded with-in my jobs or that I find are not as motivated as me and are not thinking the way I do, they won’t listen to me, mostly because of my obvious obsession with talking about anything under the sun when it comes to finances, real estate, business, etc.

@Oscar MiguelThe squatter being in the property is an example of a catalyst for any probate property even for the property your interested in.If the family member, who may become the PR (Personal Representative) knows of the squatter (maybe the family member) and probably wouldn't want to evict.As for the three siblings, there's more than likely adversarial issues between the three as two want to sell (motivated) and one doesn't.Probate is a title problem!!
