Our market slightly slowed in March 2020, then continued in April 2020 on its normal hot trajectory.

Here are some facts: According to the latest Houston Association of Realtors (HAR) Market Update, single-family home sales jumped 24.4 percent in March with 9,347 units sold versus 7,511 a year earlier.

@Cody Neumann one tenant was then the current landlord had them sign a lease in March.

It is always an option and we will march down that road when there is no other choice, but we start the eviction process, probably 99% of the time with the hopes that the tenant will snap out of it, get on a payment plan and get back on track.Sometimes, you need to stop throwing good money after bad (taxes, utilities depending on your lease/local rules, upkeep, further damage) and evicting for possession VS money makes sense.  

So I told them in an effort to help them get into a new place I would not charge them rent for March and April so they could save enough money to get into a new place.

Are they a one man band?

I placed an order for the two title reports mid Feb.I emailed them early March to see if the reports came back and didn't receive a reply.First week of April I called and was told they had submitted the paperwork to the title company and were waiting for it to come back.I called the attorney's office a couple weeks later and left a VM for the attorney.A few days later I called again and left a message w/his assistant for him to call me back.Last week I sent another email detailing the times I've both called and emailed, and didn't hear back.Two days ago I called again and left another message with his receptionist.My partner and I have been working with the sellers for months and we can't move forward until we see the title reports.

We signed the lease and they handed over their security deposit back in late March for a May 1st start date.

I invested last March and will be liable for capital gains tax.

Ultimately what real estate investors need is to band together and do a better job with PR - there's plenty of investors out that provide great places to live with 0% eviction rates.
