This is a move in the right direction.

The only question you asked was which eviction process to go with and I guess I didn't answer that directly.....so here it is... 

You will want to consult with a lawyer.In regards to your last two questions here's some background on what makes a contract valid and enforceable:Offer: A promise to do or not do something within a certain time period Acceptance: A clear and direct statement that all terms and responsibilities are accepted Consideration: A legal and adequate inducement given in exchange for the promise Capacity: The parties to the contract must have the legal capacity and competency to contract Awareness: A party must be aware of the contract Legality: The contract must be legal in the jurisdiction it will be operating in***Not legal advice*** Steps I would take: -Review contract in detail to understand each counterparties responsibilities (if you are not aware)- Email a copy of the lease to each of the tenants listed on the lease and reiterate lease expectations for termination notice, rent payment etc. - If the lease was signed via Docusign (other esign may have same ability) - you can go to the envelope, go to history and view the IP addresses for each action taken.

Have you considered using a self-directed IRA to invest rather than cashing it out? 

Some facts/info you may already know but if not:1) You assume the loan from the servicing bank, meaning you will work directly with the servicing bank.You assume the loan amount, but still need to come up with the difference of the VA loan amount and the sales price, in your case 172K. 2) No one will finance the entire remaining 172K amount.

I've been allocating based on sf used all direct and indirect costs.
