Hello,I want to buy a duplex in an area with strong tenant laws.

I get rid of bad tenants regularly and have never paid any of them to leave.I did it the opposite way, I strong armed them, rammed them through court, and put a judgement against them. 

Congrats on your first STR in Sevierville—sounds like a strong start!

Here are a few to watch out for:Property Condition: Most distressed properties need extensive repairs or renovations, which add to your initial investment.Competitive Market: With Phoenix's popularity among investors, competition for the best deals can be intense.Complex Deals: Foreclosures, auctions, or short sales are much more complicated compared to regular real estate transactions and usually require specialized knowledge.Tips to Successfully Navigate the MarketDo Your Research: Understand the local market conditions, including neighborhood trends, property values, and potential rental income.Build a Strong Network: Work with professionals who specialize in distressed properties-such as brokers, contractors, and legal experts-to make the best decisions.Assess Costs Carefully: Factor in the cost of repairs, holding costs, and any potential financing issues when evaluating a property’s profitability.Be Patient: Finding the right distressed property takes time.

The markets you mentioned in your initial post in this thread are great markets, but they're all heavy on appreciation and light on cash flow.

Fishtown and Point Breeze are strong options but can be pricey.
