Mortgage will be paid off at the closing table.If the mortgage more than the selling price - find a friendly real estate agent and refer the seller for a fee...like finders fee

My mortgage on it went from 170K to 125K over the 12 years, it doesn't cashflow great, but when the mortgage is paid off I will cashflow 13K a year from it for the rest of my life. 

@Marc Izquierdo - I do a lot of investing and PMing in low income neighborhoods and I will tell you that just being in a low income neighborhood will result in tenants that are hard on buildings, irregardless of how the rent gets paid.  

No property yet, but I'm working with a real estate group here in the Chicagoland area and have been pre-qualified from a lender I met through the real estate group.

After the debt is completely paid off my plan is to buy a multi family property, most likely a duplex so that I can house hack while I save money and build equity for the next property.

We have paid a substantial amount already and the contractor is trying to double the budget.

When working with the local electric utility, how is the electric paid for when putting in a new subdivision?  

They had a very good voucher that paid off the cost of the house in a little over a year.

If the two that want to stay, but need more time have paid their rent, I don't see how you can "kick them out" without adequate notice; in writing.I'm assuming the lease renews month to month. 

If you aren't getting paid and/or have served proper notice, get the eviction filed asap.
