If they can't afford the rent, give them a notice ASAP.With all due respect, Jealous?

They don't have to like you, but they better respect you. 

Shawn, where my niece lives, South New Port Richey, is a target-rich environment, loaded with what looks like great buy-rehab or hold-rental opportunities. 

Hi Mindy ~Thank you for your insight & experience on this topic.Indeed, I connected with the assessor's office & gathered the details on the respective owners.

Hi @Brandon Hall, I am not sure if CPA's are like Realtor's and such with the respects to licensing in various states, but just curious if you are licensed/or able to practice in Minnesota?

It’s an environment that helps you develop skill sets and eradicate excuses so we can get it done.

So is wood.Florida is humid and warm, which is the perfect growing environment for mold.

So I will be acquiring a property with a delinquent tenant who has lived there for years with permission, paid very little rent, but made improvements, and who is going to put up one hell of a fight when I show up and inform him the party is over.The owner has handed me the deed and told me to do whatever I need to do to transfer ownership and then take it from there.What steps are required to take over this property and evict this person while respecting his rights and protecting myself?

For conventional financing, Amerisave is hard to beat, but their closing really sucks and they push you to use their own settlement company, which is questionably legal with respect to RESPA.

And they dont allow you to do the work yourself but they want you to hire a contractor even for simple things and pull permits.I know the law says that you have to provide livable and decent environment for your tenants but how can they impose so strict rules?
