One was a holdover who refused to vacate after an acquisition and was thrown out by the sheriff the other stopped paying and sat in the house until eviction day and then left peacefully before the sheriff showed up.But of course it is going to take  ages to get a date for an eviction case,  the system is clogged up with filings from landlords against tenants who are "5" days or whatever late and who are in effect abusing the eviction process to get their tenant to pay. 

We have a lot of scenery, wildlife, hiking, mountain biking, peace and quiet.

Take your time and read directions,  It's not like we are solving Rubic's cube here or world peace.

I am not saying paying higher fees is necessarily bad if it give you peace of mind and the company does a good job, just make sure you don't get any surprises - tenants can be surprising enough. 

Many will fit the latter category and ought to be open to trading obligations and responsibilities for predictable cash flow and peace of mind. 

Also, enhance your results by targeting those with delinquent taxes and live out-of-county. 

My question relates to the possibility of not only enhancing a house, but enhancing a community of houses in which an investor increases the value of all houses around rather than following suit with whats on the market.  

May cost just $100 extra for peace of mind; if this other person actually has a legit claim to title, you won't be out the reno costs.

For instance, if this an enhancement to the original structure you would depreciate it, but if its cosmetic repairs, then you would expense it. 

You have to put workers in place as you cannot do that all on your own and that eats into returns.For me I like a peaceful life.
