Reach out to agencies in your area (housing commission, Saint Vincent DePaul, etc.) explain the situation and ask them who provides eviction prevention assistance to renters.

Hi @Jack CarrozziNormally, when we as lenders say investment property, we mean a non-owner occupied property.

Purchase price: $34,000 Cash invested: $16,000 Procured an investor for this deal and I live in the house while I’m fixing it up.

Go to Etsy and search for "rental property tracker," and you will find hundreds of nice spreadsheets to track 10-20 rentals, usually for under $10.Software has extremely helpful features like online payments, marketing syndication (click a button, and your property is advertised on multiple sites), electronic document review/signing, maintenance tracking, and owner reports.

Just do it for one year, and you will see results fast.The issue is when you pick one strategy, then a month later, you want to change, then 3 months later you want to do something else, then 2 years later you have not done a deal yetin my journey, I was broke, so I started wholesaling, then I expanded to Fix and Flips, then to rentals, then owner financing and notes and commercial properties.

Hope I am posting this in the right forum.....I purchased a house with an existing tenant. 

As a Nationwide lender in 47 states + Puerto Rico that is fully endorsed, there are not many lending scenarios we don't cover in house, but there are always scenarios that fall outside of conventional or standard Non-QM guidelines.

Foundation/structural engineer determined a water downspout on one side of the house caused the soil erosion. 

But are there any current owners that would let me pick their brain?

The tenant had been living there since 2011 and had an existing lease with the previous owners which got transferred to me during the sale.
