I learned so much along the way, including navigating the legal process needed to remove previous owners (squatters) who did not want to leave.

Conversely, On homes I have wanted to expand,  I have removed closets from bedrooms in order to label these as studies or offices, so that I could build additions that are labelled "bedrooms" (customized to my needs),  in order to avoid the requirements of expanding a 2 car garage to a 3 car garage (a local requirement when building beyond 4 bedrooms).  

I’ve learned that it is a very expensive ordeal but having a good lease helps remove the tenants faster.

The lease agreements states"If Tenant and all Occupants do not vacate the Property by the Expiration Date orearlier termination of this Lease, Landlord may commence legal proceedings allowed by applicable law to remove andevict Tenant and any Occupant from the Property"Do I have to provide a 60 day notice to the tenant?

Any kind of hitch or wheels must have been removed.

Please remove this post.

Let them know they have X days to remove the items.

We basically handled the appliances when the floors were done, removal of wall paper (I hope I never see any ever again, lol) repaired the walls, paint, hardware, installed new stairs and applied poly. 

And later relisted as a "family compound" with most of the photos showing commercial aspects of the property removed. 

For the future, remove other door knobs that don't need to be keyed unless you have the keys and strengthen the lease to address lock outs.
