About this episode
This week’s question comes from Dan on the Real Estate Rookie Facebook Group . Dan is asking: For those of you that have gone through the eviction process , did you go it alone in small claims court or did you hire a lawyer? While Tony (thankfully) doesn’t have experience evicting any tenants, Ashley has had to evict multiple out of her personal investment properties as well as from properties she managed when she was a full-time property manager. She describes the multiple ways you can evict a tenant , all of which will rely on the situation the tenant presents you with. Here are some suggestions: Hire an attorney if you are inexperienced with tenant evictions Use small claims court to get back rent or payment for damages Offer cash for keys if you are unable to legally evict at this time Understand that many tenants will pay or leave once they receive an eviction notice And Much More! If you want Ashley and Tony to answer a real estate question, you can post in the Real Estate Rookie Facebook Group ! Or, call us at the Rookie Request Line (1-888-5-ROOKIE).
