If it's not cured, then you can file an eviction.That said, the pet can also magically turn into an ESA. 

The journey only becomes more exciting as you get started!

No matter where you stand in your real estate investing journey, BiggerPockets is the ultimate resource for all of your investing needs.

I’m learning as much as I can about investing while on this one year journey from reading books listening to podcasts and practicing analyzing properties while I have internet approximately once a month for a few days.I’m originally located in Orlando, FL and plan to purchase a 4-plex to start house hacking with once I’m home.Long term goal is to have a portfolio of multifamily properties.

What is the best piece of advice you have received when beginning your real estate journey?

Mistakes are part of the journey and I will learn from it.

That said, I still have LOVED my personal house-hacks and most of the ones my clients have done because the numbers tell a beautiful story and being able to eradicate your cost of living is to-date one of the most powerful financial levers I know of.Single family homes can still make a workable house-hack and the magic of it really comes at the bookends price-wise. 

I don't know the laws, but I would hope that you would eventually be able to recover all lost rent if you were genuinely dealing with the maintenance backlog as fast as you can.This sounds like a really unpleasant situation and I'm sorry that you had to deal with it this soon into your REI journey.

Because it sounds so easy and so magical haha.

I'm new here too but learning so much from everyone and analyzing deals while I wait to close on a cashout refinance so I can continue my investment journey.
