@Jeremy H Barton I would suggest taking a look at your cash flow before signing up for a HELOC on a brand new building.

(in which they did)  then pay the price, or another tennant will simple as that🤷  

I'd suggest making sure to get a good GC/construction company for repairs.

Maybe this is a simple question but does this have to be set up through a service or could this just be my bank and I hold the money? 

In your case I suggest a passive, low risk options like government backed CDs.good luck

As easy as this sounds, it's not simple and usually like pulling teeth.

You can read a book and multiple books, but unless you are out there doing it (I.e. getting bids and getting contractors to truly get you an exact estimate) you will be far off from the numbers you want and may even lose money on the flip/rehab.The best advice I would suggest in my experience is that you should get into the line of work by either partnering with someone or working with someone on some projects prior to going into a flip on your own.

Any suggestions?  

He suggested calling them to negotiate something, to your satisfaction, as you previously stated, including removing the panels. 

From what I see all the people answering to me here (and there are so many) are just coming against and refusing to agree with my simple statement: "a landlord is not above the law or norms by its personal choice or presumed capability to judge what he don't know" or as well "a landlord cannot deny or miscarriage a service to a stranger without a known valid reason and at the same time pretend to be operating professionally or loyally to the moral"Basically I'm telling if you are not able to do your business correctly it would be better to find someone else than you, mainly when your ideas about "squatter" or fair treatment are coming from ignorance or completely invented.
