I would find someone willing to live their for free and be the heavy.

It's not an overnight thing, but it's like putting money in a high-interest account and increasing that interest at regular intervals along the way - it's HUGE over time.So practically, this means:- Letting your SOI know you're in real estate now and would appreciate their business and referrals.- Finding a comfortable, 'you' way of asking people for referrals in a relaxed manner, so it doesn't feel weird.

And if you don't want the hassle have you thought about turning it over to a property management company to do the heavy lifting for you on the eviction?

They made their mark in personal property exchanges (heavy equipment, airplanes, etc).
