Kudos to you and Debra for making it happen—this is a great example of how collaboration and decisive action lead to success!

Account Closed You can do automated lead generation in several ways, depending on whether you're looking for seller leads, buyer leads or private lender leads.Seller Leads: (1) Lead Swiper (online lead search with dozens of targeted searches), (2) Instant Leads -- direct access to listed properties nationwide with a click (3) OfferBot, automated offer making software (I use this every day) (4) Direct Mail Connect (upload your own list or use lists out of Freedomsoft) -- my team manages a ton of direct mail in my real estate business using this, (5) SMS lead generation (I use this every day)...and that's just scratching the surface.Buyer Leads: (1) Nationwide Cash Buyer database (millions of buyer records at the click of a mouse) -- including buyer name, address and all property addresses they've bought including closing dates and prices paid

So, I will not be needing to source leads as much. 

Was there really deals to do seller financing and that were already in good conditions?

The fact that you already have multiple units fully rented is a big plus.If I were analyzing this, I’d start by verifying each cottage’s rental history, condition, and potential for adding more units or amenities.

If they don't comply, I believe then the paperwork will be filed with the courts.1) they violated my lease agreement by re-keying the locks and refusing to let me do a walk-through (excuse was she has covid)2) since it's a month to month lease, I can also end the lease and state I will be moving back onto the property and taking it off the rental marketHopefully, these two conditions will hold up in court and will favor me.

You should be within $50- $100 of market rents for long-term tenants with taking into account the condition of the property.

I never make a loan, no matter the equity position, that the past actions of the borrowers lead me to wonder if they will be likely to pay me back. 

PMs have to keep the utilities working for various reasons (uninhabitable living conditions, pipes freezing, etc) and you can't count on a tenant like this to do that.

As others advised, get a structural engineer in there to review the conditions.
