It generally refers to removing the tenant from the home while a lease is in place.

You’ll need to treat it like a business—handling tenant management, accounting, legal compliance, property maintenance, and more.That said, when done correctly, it’s a powerful tool for building wealth!

If you need more to do the rehab, perhaps instead of partnering, you could get your former boss to do a personal loan. 

Cameras are motion-activated, can give you alerts, you can record the video and access it from anywhere, etc.

That is probably a good start to setting the goals you need to achieve to make the dream happen.

The document that records the sale is called a "Tohon" and does not list a sale price. 

I stared using this site PropJump.com to find services providers for my 3 properties I own and manage. 

If you had no knowledge and they broke the lease I'd issue a notice of non renewal, but give them the option to remove the cats.

YES, I do provide a bonus / penalty structure to my contractors.
