It looks like the only participant in the process is the taxman. 

I may need to put on the tool belt more in the beginning, but hope to automate the process as much as possible and employ as many people, creating value in their lives  Thanks again Dave.Ray Sample

I know choosing the right Property Management can be a difficult process, make sure to interview your Property Manager first.

I'd like to get your take on the process, contractors etc.

Find a RE broker that owns property and has been working full time in RE for at least 10 years, ( from before the market crashed) this way you'll know they are knowledgeable about the process, area, and investment properties!

Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions throughout the process.

Once tenants are in place in the first unit we will begin work on 2nd unit and follow the same process for the 3rd unit.  

And you're presumably a few weeks into the process? 

Perform a quick cost analysis on the eviction process to see just how much it will cost you, then offer cash to prevent the time/revenue lost.
