Get an attorney and get these losers out then hire a property manager to properly vet any future tenants! 

I am the boots on the ground, managing the property and doing everything in between.

The living condition is terrible as the apartment is poorly maintained by tenant and poorly managed by landlord [seller].

@Tayvion Payton I have managed many properties in neighborhoods like this.

However, this allowed me to gain initial experience and confidence without being overwhelmed by managing multiple platforms simultaneously.

My property manager called (I live in Denver) and told me they got it turned off pretty quickly, but a whole wall's worth of drywall was damaged. 

For our second STR, we are currently researching Sherman, potentially / ideally, a less expensive duplex that we could rennovate and self manage from Dallas with workers coming to the area in mind. 

that we’ve learned in our 24 years, managing almost 700 doors across the Metro Detroit area, including almost 100 S8 leases:Class A Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, 3-5 years for positive cashflow, but you get highest relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% the more recent norm.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 680+ (roughly 5% probability of default), zero evictions in last 7 years.Class B Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, decent amount of relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% should be applied only if proper research done to support.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 620-680 (around 10% probability of default), some blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 5 yearsClass C Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, high cashflow and at the lower end of relative rent & value appreciation.

For real estate investors, that means lower operational costs for managing properties and cheaper construction expenses.

Then, start building your connection with local agents, contractors and property managers.2.
