I am interested in purchasing a home that has been recently known as a squatter house.

Did anyone recently purchase a property there and hows the rental market?

It appears you purchased in mid 2020.  

Hi Griffin, It is not uncommon for hard money lenders to finance 90% of the purchase price and 100% of the rehab cost on a 6-12 month term, and then they'd be able to assist with long-term funding for the property once it has been rented.

If I purchased the property how long, and difficult would it likely be for me to evict the squatter?

In general, you will want 25% of the purchase price to buy the property, but you should also maintain a reserve to deal with unforeseen expenses like vacancies, maintenance, etc.Before you even begin, I think you should focus on a little education.1.

With greater appreciation, you can leverage that increased value through a HELOC or cash-out-refinance to purchase or rehab your next investment property.Where to begin?

He'd be great to talk to if you are seeking an agent to help you find your first purchases. 

I include non-paying tenants as part of the vacancy risk included in calculations I make prior to purchasing a rental to ensure it will cash flow.
