And be care of taking advice from someone who has something to gain from you.

When I started managing single-family rental homes back in 2009 in Augusta, GA, there was less variance in the industry (and also less services available).

I want to start investing in real estate.

If they do not leave by the move out deadline, can I start eviction process? 

It's no guarantee but it's a good place to start.

I do not know your current situation but house hacking is a great way to get started with real estate investing.

@Phillip Rosin - Based on the info you provided, I recommend that you start with a Fix to Rent short term loan to purchase the property and rehab it, followed by a cash out refinance into our DSCR loan.

You have to have a building permit in before you can start running utilities.

In the 30+ rehabs I've done, I learned to start with the finished product in mind. 

I just started working with one this week on a commercial deal.
