Hi Ashlee,

Have you and the tenant signed paperwork documenting the lease break?

Starting the eviction process with a demand will only give you more piece of mind with clear future dates on when you will inevitably get possession back of your property if the tenant does not surrender. I would encourage you to go the legal route instead of trusting the tenants word on their move out date if you are skeptical. They can just as easily change their move out which may ultimately hurt you financially more in the long run if they are delinquent. 

In this 60-minute session, @Dave Meyer will walk you through the key stages of picking a real estate market. While market selection is one of the most important parts of your investing journey, it doesn’t have to be intimidating. Every investor’s goals, resources, and strategy are different, and there is no one-size-fits all solution to market finding.

You’ll walk out understanding:

• How to balance your goals for cash flow and appreciation
• Why home prices don’t paint the whole picture for affordability
• How metrics like the rent-to-income and rent-to-price ratios are similar (and how they aren’t!)
• Which markets are best for your strategy of choice
• How to compare similar markets
• Why some key metrics matter more than others
• How to find data on conditions like population growth and demographics
• Which markets are the most affordable this year

Hey Tiffany! Welcome to BiggerPockets and thanks for joining!

Here are some tips for networking and making the most of your account.

1) I'd fill out your profile fully before you do anything else! As that will at least help folks that you reach out to know that you are a real person, with a picture and professional bio. Particularly be sure to include your goals for real estate investing so that folks can help you.

2) Follow your favorite forum topics and set up keyword alerts! Adding keywords related to your investment strategy or market locations can be updated in your settings. You’ll receive notifications when there is conversation in the forums you follow or if a user mentions those keywords—so keep them updated often!

3) Check out some of the local meetups that you can find in this forum! There are so many so be sure to filter by your location.

4) Review Dave Meyer’s The State of Real Estate Investing Report 2024 (in your resource page as a member of BiggerPockets!) for real estate investors available to all BiggerPockets members!

5) Consider meeting with a few agents in your area even if you are just getting started! An investor friendly agent can do all sorts of helpful things, like setting you up with a search for properties or connecting you with folks who have recently done deals like the ones you want to do.

6) Consider analyzing a deal or two in your local market, just for practice, with a free use of our Rental Property Calculator (or other calculators).

Hope this helps! Please reach out with any questions you may have!
