Why I Evicted My Tenant

Have you ever dealt with tenants? Mine was the first tenant I ever rented to. Though he explained to me that his wife was the one who worked, so all the income ran through her bank account. His credit was really bad; her credit was bad. But I just figured, you know what, they seem like nice people, so I rented to them.

After about a year, give or take, the property's value had gone up, and I wanted to do a cash-out refinance. So I had to have an appraiser go by the property. The guy won't let him in the garage. He's like, "Well, you know, I'm growing roses in the garage. I don't want them to get the wrong idea." I'm like, "Is it weed?" He's like, "That's weed, but it's legal." But federally, it was still illegal.

The guy basically told me no one else is coming in the property, and he stopped paying rent after he missed his rent. I served him with that notice through an eviction company. They came up, and they knocked on his door, and he pulled out a shotgun. Whoa! I told the guy to get off the property or he's shooting. I ended up taking him to court, and the judge ruled in my favor.
