I did not want to go the eviction route as it could take several months and can be very costly, whereas some tenants are given free legal help.

We're leaning towards long-term renters, but may go the short-term/travel nurse route (furnished).

If OP chooses to go the 1099 route, not only would he have to get his W9's, determine the business entity of his vendor, and also labor vs material on his projects.

See if they are open to you marketing the property on social media like facebook groups and have a link that routes them to the PMs applicationg as I have the most luck with those but because of the volume some property managers have they do not do it as they would then need to do it for all their properties.

It Negates having to do any maintenance yourself as well..Why isn’t this the better route to go, why isn’t this the default of most investors?

If you go the condo route, you’ll need to go beach front.

or going the other route, will the court require to first fix the violations before i start to count the 3 months that it takes eviction here from what i have heard?

You also don't have time to call 12324 people on the phone and get routed around for days to get a JV account set up because they don't know how to handle it without state filing information.I also needed some letters of credit and other things a few times and it took a United Nations resolution to get it done.

and with all the equity your lender should approve it. with a new legal description it would be under a different deed and should then be able to build on I know you stated you couldn't do that but Maybe if you use that route it would be possible?

Outside of that, you can sue in small claims court for virtually nothing, and I would also consider that route.
