I know you want to buy another and start leveraging, but as long as you are paying less than you would for rent, save the difference and wait for an investment opportunity.

If you did a portfolio loan, it could help save on some costs versus an individual loan, as others have mentioned.

@Kevin Drouillard most PMCs do not pursue collections after a tenant moves out.Check the eviction judgment to see if a money judgment was included.If not, you will need to pursue small claims judgment.Once you have a money judgment you can try to garnish (another court process) wages, bank accounts or state tax refunds.

We primarily focus on vacants, preforeclosures, tax liens, and pre-probate leads.  

Just self manage and save yourself the money.

There are tax filings and yearly fees associated with them. 

The no-income tax and growing city were all a plus! 

Re rent roll, obtain copies of the executed leases and validate collection via bank statements and tax returns. 

The total of all depreciation taken is taxed.

@Dennis Hill if the house meets standards of that size family, enough beds baths and room size for children, then follow your standard rules, like I make anyone 18+ years of age qualify on their own unless they are a dependent of main tenant (prove with current tax return).
