I don’t “communicate” with the tenants about this stuff because it’s in the lease.

Here are the steps as I see them: Find a realtor and communicate to them what you are looking for and for what purpose.

You are correct as inventory is increasing, and will effect the supply/demand equation.

I couldn't give you a simple answer that would help you- you've gotta build your own recipe.Overall: Efficient but effective marketing.

If the noteholder is a large hedgefund or a bank, there most likely will be bureaucratic inefficiencies in decision making and communication that cause delays.

Immediately cut off all communication with the tenant and hire an attorney that specializes in evictions.You'll hate me for the first recommendation and thank me for the second.

It effectively turns thinkers into doers. 

 You need to:  A) Know thyself  B) Develop an understanding of what REIT's are and factors that effect their pricing  C) Develop an understanding of where you're going to invest if you buy physical propertyFor this comment Ill be talking about publicly traded REIT's as they're available to everyone through a brokerage account.

The kitchens all need help as well, the landlord has quite literally done nothing to renovate or remodel the property even with tenant requests as mentioned above -- effectively a slumlord.

IMO the chance 2008 happens again soon is low and even if it does it doesn't effect you unless you have to sell.
