For me Non, I had to take care of the liens on the homes I purchased.

Since their lease is almost up I would wait and give notice to non renew.

Still trying to figure that one out :-)This point was really crystalized last year in a thread.. nice young couple in I think Slidel LA  .. they went on and on how they were getting leads but had not closed any deals because sellers would not come down. but they got their good friend the real estate broker a half a dozen listings.. so I am thinking man you spend all this money to get these leads then hand them to a broker.. and we all know brokers by law cant pay non licensed individuals referral fees.. 

In Ogden in particular, condition plays a large factor and it's difficult to get a feel for these properties unless you can see them physically.Also, there's a local Real Estate Investors Association that's a great way to network offline (nureia.org) (Disclosure: I'm on the board).Good luck and let us know if we can help!

Don't think that one particular out of state market will shoot you to success or abject failure. the things I posted above happen here in Cleveland but they also happen in just about every other major metropolitan area in the Midwest and across the USA. 

So their lease states “The party seeking to terminate the lease must give the other party 30 days notice or must provide notice according to the applicable state law for month-to-month tenancies” Does this mean if I were to give the non-rewenal notice 9/12/2018 they have to leave by 10/12/2018?

You don't have to accept all felons, for instance I know a lot of housing that accepts non-violent offenders, or first time offenders, etc. 

……………Then, if in Washington, have your PM deliver a 20 day no cause notice to vacate.If your place is nice, there are plenty of non-scammer/non-entitled folks who would love to make it there new home. 

Most people (non real estate investors) dont use large chunks of credit like we do, so they dont see the fluctuations to their score like that.

Another poster a few days ago asked a similar question and much of the advice was focusing on doing non-traditional MF.
