Many times, I collect past due rent by skip tracing them, and serving them the proper paperwork for  and evection and taking them the magistrate court.

Yes I realize this is completely on us for not managing our property properly.

This avoids the issues you get when taking on tenants that were not properly screened by the old landlord.Your only option now is to walk away or push current owner to evict or move to cash for keys. it may be to late to request the unit be delivered vacant, but if not that's what I would suggest doing. if you follow through with the purchase, keep this tenant on the shortest leash possible and start saving up for the (very likely) eviction cost.

Oral month to month contracts are perfectly valid, and transfer along with the property. in fact, this is nearly an ideal situation since month to month contracts give you more control of the property, especially with inherited tenants who we assume were not properly screened when placed.

I am also a licensed agent here in Texas as well.

I am taking my realtors state exam next week and was wondering if anyone recommends a specific broker to work for? Keep in mind I am looking for a low cost broker (no desk fee, monthly fee) given that this will not be...

@Aaron Klatt I talked to the licensed contract who came over to give me the estimates.

Homeowners can install proper screening for windows and patios to prevent no-see-ums from entering residences and outdoor areas used for leisure and entertaining.

That, plus further research I made says investors in Atlanta must obtain a hotel license.
