@Patrick Thomas DickinsonBased on what you described, I would look at joining a syndicate (or two) as a limited partner in an apartment complex (or two).

I believe there is a way to do this yourself, but I would absolutely recommend NOT doing that is it is extremely complex.

@Lesley WhitleyI took my property out of an LLC, I had to hire a lawyer anytime I went to court with a tenant.

This is a court action filed to clear the title.

They smoke in the house, however - I have no "proof" to prove that they do in the court of law except that I smell it and see a cloud of smoke arising from their unit every time I enter3.

Hello,I'm based in NJ and just filed the JEDS Superiod Court DC Complaint for non payment of rent.

Building inspectors cannot demand they enter the property unless they have a court order.

I know it is uncommon to start this big, but I have come across a great deal for a 54 unit apartment complex.

But there’s also a small apartment complex that I’m interested in.

I have a property.1) lease was originally for a couple (man and woman)2) in May 2020, man took himself out of the lease (because woman was in an abusive relationship so she states and failed a restraining order against the man so man moved out)3) Woman took advantage of eviction moratorium and refused to pay me anything for 10 months onwards4) Woman no longer lives on my property at end of Jan 2021 because I finally managed to evict her end of Jan 20215) Now, I've been communicating with her and trying to get her to complete Covid Rental Assistance programs so I can recover the 10 months back rent without having to go through small claims court6) So far, I've been rejected in two programs (one of the program states that woman didn't provide enough proof / evidence)7) So right now, I'm looking into pursuing woman in small claims court in November8) She argues she has no money or anything and is living in a safe house and to protect her from her abuser, and that she's also homeless9) She states "I have no assets, no savings, and no income.
