If the tenant still lives there or if the owner of the home still lives there how big of a pain is it to have them evicted?

Regardless of how you think the process and renovation is going to go, it's good to remember this:It's always going to take long, cost more, and be more of a pain in the butt than you anticipate.Good luck! 

Just not worth it, but I feel your pain. 

Any advice is welcomed because this seems to be my biggest pain-point in my business right now.

Difficult tenants are a pain. 

Trying to google search this question has been a pain.

The acute pain may be still there but it will be temporary. 

Here's hoping this isn't a painful learning experience, but again - at the least the mortgage is covered by the basement tenant. 

It was worth the extra cost for peace of mind and made for a good selling point since my waterproofing company came with a transferrable, lifetime guarantee.As one of our presidents said, "I feel your pain."

@Matt CamilliereI strongly suggest you not execute on your stated strategy of encouraging folks to take a Coronavirus Related Distribution from a retirement plan in order to invest in your opportunities.A Coronavirus Related Distribution is a means to solve short term financial pain caused by the economic impact of COVID-19, it is not a "retirement plan hack".
