At this point, I wouldn’t worry about how great of a tenant she has been and start eviction process.

THat is a lot of data to process@Maxwell Milholland My advice would be start local with areas you know.

It was a simply process. 

I will try to team up with someone from the office to help me go through the process. 

We have issued a 3 day notice and will be starting the eviction process.

(Realized the hard way how bad those are too get) lol With the lease option should I consider reaching out to a realtor or a broker to help with more information on that process and if my tenants are willing to do that what would be the best option for me to do since I'd like to purchase a duplex next year?

Control the process and create systems, something it took us a long time to figure out.If everyone knew how amazing of an opportunity real estate if for wealth creation, tax benefits and lifestyle, everyone would be doing it.

The encroachment has been known and ongoing for 20 years.Best Regards  - Jason Toledo

I'm in the process of buying a house that I'm going to live in for a while before turning it into a rental property.

If the property is already on the market the process will be almost identical to any other house purchase.
