You have to see if their current income supports the rent you charge.

What percentage do they charge you monthly?

They told me they'll pay it and charge the tenant, but don't expect anything.The first question is, is there even a way to prove it was the tenants trash?

@Clay SellersTo keep costs down, you may want to open the self-directed IRA with a custodian that charges reasonable fees but is still reputable.

Get their card, get an idea of what they charge, and be sure to mention that you aren't planning to lend out of your IRA, if that is the case. 

We never hired a management company, as it was not cost effective with rent we have been charging and it is only one house.Another question: If I do wait til Fall 2019 to sell, should I rip the carpet (up the stairs, living room hallways, bonus and bedrooms—2600sf house) and leave floors bare, (it’s light colored, horrible carpet) to allow buyers to add their own?

You could evict, create a pet lease and charge for the dog, make tenant get rid of the dog if they want to stay, or request tenant break lease and leave without eviction. 

To be eligible for it you must be self-employed or have legitimate business with earned income. 

@Edisson Casseus generally, a hard money lender will need 10% - 20% of the purchase price, plus whatever points they charge, and money to start the renovations (realistically, 25% of the reno costs), and a reserve for loan repayment.

.- If you are looking at C neighborhoods and below, what are the eviction processes and what does management charge?
