So I'd contact the tenant let them know you will be forced to file eviction if the unit is not empty.

Future mortgage rates will probably be even higher than they are currently, and may have a negative impact on any real estate investments as cost of funds increase - mostly those with ARMs or are looking into a mortgage in the future.

Answer to your previous question is 'yes, lease stays in force until it's cancelled.  

There is a BIG difference between 1.5%-2% at ARV/retail price and hitting those numbers with your effective all in price buying distressed and forcing appreciation.

That means you are buying at a significant discount (because it is a distressed property),  and it will require a decent amount of repairs to get it to Market standards (and force equity appreciation).  

You're technically buying the house on the front end at a discount with the hopes of rehabbing it to force initial appreciation and renting it (BRRRR) to eventually sell it for a profit (flip) but you can sell at any time.

In addition, I had a buddy of mine install a new furnace and central air system (utilizing the original duct work from the forced hot air system).

After I learned the basics, I decided to force myself to be successful in real estate by analyzing to the best of my ability tens of deals, and offering what I believed the properties were worth to me.

We look at cash on cash and ROI but not IRR or anything that has to do with appreciation that is market driven and not forced because we don't control the market but we do control the asset.

Have any of you purchased a multi family unit with plans of house hacking but tenants were already in place and had to force a tenant out?
