My tenant has not been paying rent for four months now and refuses to vacate.I've posted and mailed 3-day notices, and uploaded them to the LAHD website four times already.

If you're struggling to get started and don't know where to look, I'd highly recommend doing a house hack. 

we pass on at cost, keeps it easy to respond to guests when they say our cleaning is high. have even proved it to guests before- some people just like to see it and most i have done that with have become long time rebookers.Make money on your house and pass along fees at cost to me thats the best way to go and has been fruitful for us 

I also learned of landlords (at least in one case) that are getting HARMED by high volumes of text spams and calls from investors.  

Bought it because the location, price, and other qualities made it stand out as a great property to have a long-term rental when I leave the area.That day is coming soon.

The biggest advice I can give you is to figure out your own goals, and be specific, so I want to invest in multi family for cash flow for instance is too broad, is your goal to have an investment or a place you enjoy living, those are often in conflict as most multi family tends not to be in the most desirable parts of towns, are you willing to high cash flow in exchange for alot more effort, risk and limited appreciation, or do you want a more stable property with potentially less or even zero cash flow, if it’s a primary residence, are you going to live there long enough to make it more sense than renting, the breakeven period in a place like Baltimore might be 3-5 years.

You'll find some crime as you would with a more affordable area but overall it offers good rents in a time where rents are at historic highs.

I do a lot of business in and around the Space Coast and Condo's seem to be around low end $2700 a month to $4000 high end LTR.

Because prices are so high in Washington, I had been considering investing out-of-state, but after reading feedback from others in this forum I realize that the smartest approach when starting out is to invest closer to home.Therefore, I would love to hear from other investors in Washington about where in the state it’s still possible to find deals.
