Or does the tenant need to pay a security deposit ASAP or ill be forced to evict him?

The first one was a home run the second flip ill make the 30k threshold but it was junk it wouldn’t make grade for investment where I’m at today. 

Medical illness and  job loss can turn a good tenancy into an eviction.

This is my first venture as a landlord and I'm sure ill make a few missteps ,but maybe I and all the other newbies can avoid some too from your story. 

Ill dig into this.

If anyone knows how to fix that, ill upload more photos.

Ill Have some numbers for shipping charges etc. the next time I post. 

Review your lease....then become very familiar with the tenant/landlord laws for your state.From day 1 I would make it 1000% clear, no rent before the "deadline" (3 or 7 days, depends on your state), then serve them notice to vacate....no partial payments...no "ill get it to you on Tuesday" BS..... ne rent, serve notice and stick to it..... depending on the lease you inherited....and I hope you reviewed it before you closed on the property..... you may be better to evict them and start fresh....

Thank you for the list of books ill definitely look around for these.

This is serious stuff - half-assing it is ill advisable :)
