I think it is clear that they are not paying rent, and they are not leaving. 

Run the numbers carefully, leave room for repairs, and don’t overthink getting the “perfect” property.

Hello BP Community,I would like to bounce some ideas and get some input regarding whether I should: Remove or leave a wheelchair/ senior accessible bathtub?

I recommend educating yourself on the topic, this platform has a number of books that can shine a better light on key items that you may not have thought about.Hope this helps!

Every job leaves its mark on me, presenting obstacles to overcome, but nothing is more satisfying than that final walkthrough. 

That saves a ton of time vs. spreadsheets or manual tracking.For me, that’s where AI shines: reducing busywork and surfacing insights so you can focus on higher-level decisions.

When a tenant does not comply with the terms of the lease, including your notice of non-renewal, you need to move to the next step, which is properly posting a notice to quit.That serves two purposes: 1) It lets the tenant know you are serious about them leaving, 2) It establishes your intent and legal grounds to take them to court.Without taking that first step, you open yourself up to being strung along by the tenant for weeks/months.If you choose not to proceed legally, you always have the option of using the 'cash for keys' strategy. 

I guess I am mostly looking for a hard money lender that also has portfolio and can shine some light on some specific questions.

Every time a tenant moves out, you’re looking at vacancy loss, make-ready costs, marketing, and time spent screening new applicants.Long-term rentals shine because they’re built for stability.

If the spread is there, the points and rates are just the price of speed and leverage.Where it really shines is when an investor uses it not just to flip, but to convert into a long-term hold with a DSCR take-out.
