Another risk especially given as you say this home is in need of major work - the tenant could start filing complaints against the home's conditions as soon as it is sold -  which would put the brakes on any removal process AND force you to make updates to the home for their benefit, or force you to pay fines and pay their moving costs.   

I do NOT want to file for non payment although I feel like a "7 day pay or quit" notice would get the ball rolling and would cost nothing for me to place on the door and would certainly motivate her to move more quickly.

BP has their lease files - have you checked that out?

Anyone have a decent service or lawyer that can file for tax appeals?

@David McHenry Jr. yes, you apply for a TPT from AZDOR and then file your return and pay taxes through their site.

That causes me to be concerned about the type of insurance you have on the property if you ever have occasion to file a claim.

Could get really creative and have a private lender file note and mortgage and then do a rate and term refi. 

Hi,I am considering to buy one or more investment properties via a cash-out-refinance against another investment property which we already own in our own name.For which property can/do I deduct the paid interest once I file my taxes?

Tax time, export out of the accounting software, import to tax software, and then taxes become as easy as filing a personal return. 

I don't know how small claims works in TX, but when I had to chase a deadbeat for unpaid commission in Mass, he kept failing to show for hearings.I was finally able to present my case and evidence to the Magistrate who said I could have both a capias (civil arrest, where the defendant is forcibly brought to court) and an execution (sheriff or constable can seize assets and sell them to satisfy the judgement).What finally got me paid was when I gave him a hard deadline and told him that if I wasn't paid in full by X date at Y time, I was going to have his WIFE (also a named defendant) civilly arrested at work.As you might suspect, that got the deadbeat moving very quickly and yes, I was paid in full.
