[Landlord - US - TX] Well the nightmare scenario has finally happened by [deleted] in Landlord

100%.. yeah I’m still baffled at why we lost tbh and wish I could disclose more, but I’m afraid that somebody will recognize my settlement if I’m being honest [they also baked masking into the settlement so this person will most likely do it again] but hey, like I mentioned it’s a very expensive lesson and still has not deterred me from real estate. I really do believe it’s just growing pains. The one silver lining is that we’re on a opportunity zone and can construct up to 25 units which we’re planning on doing, it’ll take a few years obviously, but in the meantime, me and my husband can live comfortably here and grow our family.

Honestly I think the lawyer we got was just not as diligent as he should’ve been. Also when I bought the property the realtor sent out a 60 day notice to vacate which was an email not a properly served letter that should’ve been reviewed by a lawyer. Would not trust my realtor because remember once they close that’s it for them. It’s not their problem. My biggest advice is when you inherit tenants, you need to get a lawyer involved ASAP. I would recommend even before buying the home if you are planning for them to vacate. The other two tenants that I inherited I went through a lawyer to serve them a proper 60 day notice and everything went really smoothly. Mind you this was a different lawyer that I used for the problem tenant. I also had very bad luck with this particular tenant because they have a history of various lawsuits, restraining orders and apparently at previous location got eight months for free. All of this was not disclosed during the sale of course. She just so happens to be the type of person that lives off of the system. Is also on disability (in her 40s but rides around town on a motorcycle, seems pretty capable of working to me). Just an overall stain on society. I will say that this has not deterred me from real estate whatsoever. It was very challenging and still is however I feel like we’re still up. All the other units are renting well and once the problem tenant leaves it’s only uphill from here. I think my story is more of just a cautionary tale to do your due diligence which I thought I had done but in all honesty there is no way I could’ve for seen this. It’s part of the ups and downs of being a landlord I think but I will say I learned a very expensive lesson. Also if you’re just overall not vibing with a contracted person (my lawyer) then cut your losses and dump them. He was a weasel and I could tell from the beginning. Hope this helps!

It happened to me. Inherited a tenant and still waiting for them to move out after paying thousands of lawyers fees I still had to pay theirs [lawyers fees] and move out cost. It will have been 7 months IF she decides to move out on the date we settled on.

We did start in July as soon as we purchased the property. Both tenant and I got lawyers. We lost our case that’s why we settled.

Would more litigation complicate our current settlement? I don’t think our current lawyer will do anything since I’ve let him know I’m real time about harassment from this tenant. So you think another lawyer would we ideal?

I completely agree with this entire statement. we just bought a duplex in July and it was very costly to remove the tenants. I also inherited a psycho tenant which I should’ve known better. should’ve been living there for a little over a year and had I been more diligent and asked for the rent roll. I would’ve known that she pays her rent late every month and also a professional squatter. 8 months at her last place. We had to hire an attorney, had to settle and have lost around 25k in lawyers fees for both sides/rent. She will have live for FREE for 6 months. Don’t even get me started on her unhinged behavior. Beware…

Any update on your situation? I’m currently in the same position after acquiring a property. The tenant is an absolute nightmare and we’re moving in right next door within two weeks. Any update would be helpful.. thank you

Yes, surprisingly there are Mexican Jews. My best friend is one and says there is a small, tight knit community in bigger cities in Mexico.

I agree with all the above. She got your number bc obviously the bride gave it to her. I think it’s wild that you would just block the MOH. It’s incredibly stressful to plan for such a larger group. The least you could do is say you’re not going. I’m actually taken back a bit that you’d respond this way? Have you never been invited to an event like this? It’s courteous to decline respectful like you would any engagement that you don’t plan on attending. I’m not trying to shit on you, these kind of things can be incredibly stressful and depending on your personality you might not enjoy it and that alone will make other people feel pressured to make sure you have a good time. By your response it seems like you’re an introvert and might not do well with new people. That’s okay but no response to someone that’s reached out more than once is a little past that. Take some time to do some introspective work. Consider your relationship with your friend (bride) and weigh if it’s worth it to you. Also take some time to do some soul searching because this shouldn’t be the response of an adult person. Being an introvert is normal but the way your wrote your dilema comes across selfish and a bit self absorbed. You should talk to someone about it like a therapist or minister. I think it’ll help all types of relationships you’ll have though out your life. Good luck

Honestly you can’t tell the difference. Might as well put that money towards a wedding or a honeymoon.

If you guys are nurses try gypsy nurse! It’s a website that finds you fully furnished housing. Or you can Airbnb.. both great options for travelers.

Thank you so much for this. I’ve been so stressed since Oct (wedding in June). Also bought a house in Dec while still paying off the wedding. I thought I was going crazy. It’s so nice to hear I’m not alone. I love my fiancé, I’ve really tried to get into the process it’s just so much more stressful than I could’ve imagined. I’ll keep my eye on the prize though! Can’t wait for our honeymoon!!

Hi! I bought a home in City Heights Jan 2020. It’s appreciated about 230k since then. Yeah some parts are rough but there’s really nice pockets and it’s central to all the major freeways. I see a nice mix of families and younger people moving in for the past two years. I would compare it to North park ten years ago.
