If you do end up going the eviction route, then you will have to figure out how to actually carry out the physical eviction.

Thanks @Kim Knox I am pursuing this as a buyer as an investment property for myself and it will be a cash purchase.Do they physically knock on your door or look for utilities and other routes?

General questions: How important is it to be in proximity of the first investment property? 

Its clear now that the process was taking a long time because the bank was probably waiting for better offers to come in. they asked for another bid not because there was more interest, but because they thought they could get more for the property. it was very strange but it had a good ending. we have lived there for 2.5 years, made what i would conciser a huge improvement to the house, and because of its proximity to the University, we will easily be able to rent in the future once we move on. 

So I do see a value at being hands on and close to your physical investment in that type of scenario.

He was telling me how there are two types of people, one that likes to work physically , and one that likes to work with their brain.

Looking to be a physical therapist at some point most likely!

A much better choice than physical property in my opinion.  

Although there are some physically handy caped or aged that are unable to work all others must have other "issues" otherwise they would not be on welfare. 

We are just slowed by the physical SD account and steps required finalized.
