@Mike Calvey I can't say strong enough how flawed and WRONG of an action UNDER-pricing rent's is to "get a good tenant", it's ALL-kinds of wrong. 

This is a common problem, but there are several actions we can take to curtail it:Follow the l/t regs in your state to properly notify the tenant about any damages that will be deducted from the security. 

Again, if you are financing the rehab costs then this question becomes highly critical.There is good money to be made in expensive neighborhoods and also in low-cost neighborhoods. 

During the court case, the judge informed me accepting any money forfeits the eviction.My question is, if the tenant sends money again during the eviction process, and I immediately send it back, is that considered "not accepting"?

It will cost about $600.I wonder if I have spent the money too soon.I am not an expert in pest control.What if the tenant left a door open or something, and a few rodents slipped in?

And usually because the arbitrager has spent money to furnish the property, they want to make a go of the unit.

We are doing this because we don't want to have to put so much money down in the beginning.

Even at a $100k price the numbers don't work to get my money out on a refi at $140k valuation.

Take the money you would be forced to pay for the course and use it to buy your first property and take off from there.
