I compiled all paperwork in the case and hired a property lawyer to take the case to court and receive a judgement against the tenants.

They are now waiting for a court date.We can get this property at < 50% of ARV, particularly if we buy it with the problem and handle that ourselves.  

I have added it unopened to his file for proof if he takes me to court.

We'll use the proceeds from this mortgage to invest in another property when we find one that meets our criteria. 

Would like some advice before I proceed.  

The first time, the applicant swore it wasn't her in the county court record for an eviction, and I told her I'd need an affidavit or some kind of documentation from the court that it was a mistake.

You'll want an attorney presiding over the transaction.That said, I strongly urge you to seek training before proceeding.

The media, the courts, and the neighbors, and sometimes family and friends view us a the "Dastardly Landlord" who only have broken down homes for rent.

So I always think about what would happen if we ended up in housing court over it.

Your make some very good points and I will definitely proceed with caution from here on out.
