“This is a lease violation; continued issues will result in formal notices.”After that, the 10-day notice comes out if they keep it up—judges like seeing you gave them fair warning first.I’d bet money you won’t have to go past step two once they realize there’s a paper trail leading to court if needed.And maybe… retire the trash barrel idea :) 

If not your best bet will be finding a lender that does portfolio loans (that they can make their own rules on) like a local credit union.

So the question is should we purchase a home we saw for 480k now since we found some great trustworthy tenants to occupy our main unit, is this a wise investment or way to build portfolio?

I'm betting if you look in the market, you're getting low projections; a similar condition exists.

It’s all about buying right and building a trustworthy local team.Best of luck!

Hopefully you are able to find a reliable and trustworthy manager.

I don’t care if they don’t like my offer, they can say no, I bet they haven’t lost 60k before, it hurts.2) don’t over rehab: contractors and materials cost lots these days3) buy light cosmetic rehabs.

There are many lenders in this forum that will finance the whole rehab, and 80% of the purchase price.Now what about the remaining 20%, if you don’t have the capital your best bet is to partner with an investor and the share that you will provide is your labor.

For my personal refis, I took the sure bet and went ahead an pulled the trigger and got mine at 6.25%.

Your best bet is to google it and experiment.
