Others we want to stay.

Ultimately they chose to stay where they were at.

By accepting rent during an attempted eviction you would be essentially allowing them to stay and nullifying the eviction process.IF your landlord was that stupid, then good for you...the landlord got what he/she deserved.....but they are probably not crying in their milk while sitting in their private jet

Any areas that you can suggest or areas that I should stay away from? 

Stay focused & keep feeling out your niches.

The remaining depreciation and basis will stay in your property to go forward into the replacement property.

The car can stay :)

The rents are low at 825/unit, because I told the tenants that I won't raise them, as I wanted them to stay.

I know where my properties are, if a 2 bedroom apartments rents for $1000/m i can not go in there and raise above the market or ask $1500/m off the bat, i will never get it rented. better to stay with the market and keep it rented then lose the renter and not get anyone in there because you are too high. try and find a local real estate investment club and go to their meeting, pick some brains in your market to see what they do about rents.

I have a condo I rent out that has great success with staying occupied I've had a zero percent vacancy rate on it since moving out and converting it to a rental three years ago.
