I've done several hours of deep dive investigation as well as making an Excel spreadsheet to do all the calculations.

And it has to follow very specific guidelines, or the court could toss out your case and make you start over.That said — I personally wouldn’t go the nonpayment route unless you want to keep the tenant if they suddenly come up with the money.Here’s why:A nonpayment eviction gives the tenant the legal right to “cure” the situation by paying what they owe — and then they get to stay.A holdover eviction, on the other hand, is all about getting possession of the unit back — whether or not they pay.Since your lease has expired and they haven’t paid anything, I’d go the holdover path — cleaner and more likely to result in them actually leaving.If you really wanted to pursue nonpayment, you’d need to:Serve a 5-day late rent notice first.Then serve a 14-day rent demand (not 10).Then file for eviction if they don’t pay.But again — that opens the door for them to delay by suddenly paying partial rent or requesting payment plans in court, which slows things down.Personally, I’d rather get the property back and start fresh with a better tenant.

Be patient and plan for contingencies.If you’re investing in notes or considering buying a loan secured by a property with a long ownership history, dig deep.

Over the last 12 months appreciation has slowed and sellers are reducing their price.3) Stay in the place as a primary residence and hold on until I could sell it at net neutral (maybe 3 more years pending how the San Diego market does) If the other options are not feasible, you may want to live there for awhile and enjoy the San Diego beaches!

He’s going deep into those questions.

In our experience their service is deliberately so slow that an owner has to pay out of pocket to keep tenants happy:(Please verify this for yourself here on BP.Utlimately, this isn't a bad deal for a Class A property that you probably put 0% down on. 

But if you can find something where ARV is strong and you're buying deep, with a solid plan for rehab and refi, it’s still doable.

Again, hopefully, you have enough experience to dig deep, proceed with caution, and not be in a hurry.Too often, investors rely on others or their "team," and they abdicate too many of their responsibilities.

This forum will provide a ton of learning, and then there's youtube and books for deep dives into certain topics.
