Dion and a few others seem to disagree with me on this point but their disagreement usually ends when we speak of laws of equity and courts of equity in all states.

Then I need to install a new HVAC unit, clean up, and create some curb appeal.

How would you defend it in court otherwise

Also, I put a liquidated damages clause in contracts as well, with EMD no more than 100 bucks.How would the "partner" contingency hold up in court?

He was told he could go ahead and file a civil suit, but that it would be thrown out in court.

But I would have to buy some bedroom furniture in order for this to work and seem appealing to a long term tenant.

So true @Jay Hinrichs - after real estate investing the past twenty years - doing commercial, residential, land development, SFR and multifamily rentals - and especially flipping distressed properties (by buying at the auctions - site unseen sometimes - or forming "partnerships" on the court house steps) - you and I have seen about everything!

No matter how many disclosures you as an investor make in a tenant buyer situation, the courts & juries will heavily favor them when push comes to shove if something goes awry i.e. a lender calling the loan due.If you can make it work as a flip, holding it yourself as a rental, or selling it to an investor who will hold it as an investment would be my preference.

I'm constant contact with the tenant via text and the tenant has an excuse everyday for the past week. everyday I'm told wait until tomorrow morning, in the morning I'm told I will bring it at night etc.Today I filed a complaint in court but it will take 3-4 weeks for a hearing.My question here is:Can I still evict the tenant or end the lease since almost each month the rent is late?
