I have a tenant that doesnt pay rent,and i have been trying to evict for over a year.lawyer says its the courts being backed up the reason why its taking so long.is there another way to evict a non paying month to month tenant that i enherit as a new owner?

Conservative LTV first trust deeds are currently paying over 9%  and generate good cash flow when buying doesn’t make sense.

They would also pay the taxes.  

I’m looking to connect with someone to help discuss the process so I can get with my city to gain a grant yo have them pay for it vice coming out of my pocket.

You can change your interest rate through refinancing, but you can't change how much you pay for the house after you purchase it. 

I have seen one bad tenant crush an entire 4 unit building with bed bugs, non payment of rent, and drive good paying tenants out of the building.The location is the # 1 priority, after that asset condition is really important.  

@David Ashworth given Florida's bankruptcy protection laws (please verify with an attorney) you may be better off paying off your primary and max leveraging the investment property for asset protection.

Why would you want to work with a realtor (I know she is your wife, no offense) who knows none of the agents, does not know the paperwork or the process (they don't teach you this in the class) when your primary residence is on the line.Brokerage options vary, but if you just choose the cheapest one and use your wife, you will pay for it later.

Also, for a situation that owner simply refused to pay insurance/taxes and let it go foreclosure.

Some just have one meter and they pay the power and if you go that route the utility cost is very high.
