Is that sufficient evidence for serving that 2nd floor tenant a Notice to Comply and slap her with the $50 fee (for breach of lease) and $30 fee (for making us serve the notice)?

If you have limited time but sufficient capital, I would definitely recommend syndications. 

The other article didn't provide sufficient detail to determine what it was. 

It will never appreciate (nobody except another investor will likely want it)  and the rent is not sufficient to cover cap ex in the long term. 

Khakis and polo will be sufficient.

Here are some general considerations and steps in the process.First make sure there is sufficient demand for rentals or housing in the market. 

@Jonathan Valdes May be your loan is not passing self sufficiency test because of flood insurance and higher property taxes.

You pay a token rent; just enough to validate the contract as legit.Also, he gives you a lien on the property for $5,000 to protect your interest/option fee, which would be released if you chose NOT to exercise your option.Whatever you do, don't let this go beyond 6 months. 

@Robert Lei make sure you are properly (legally) noticing the tenant of your termination, every lease is different and state laws are all different, at just a cursory read, email and text is probably not sufficient *not a legal counselor, not legal advice.

From your one example, a door getting kicked in and damaged balusters may not warrant eviction, but if damage continues and progressively worsens, you may have sufficient cause for eviction.2) Significant nuisance to others: most leases will state that disturbing neighbors and other tenants may result in eviction.
