I can't shut the water off because of the family living there.

Can you shut down the entrance from the road?

Everything is dry , fans still running , isolation valves installed so if something happens again I can shut down 1/2 the house and still have a bathroom .

If the tenant shuts them off they are kept on in your name.

They are the people with the information you need and you can't get it if you don't shut up and listen.As for the license thing I always say it is worth getting.

The utility employee failed to close the basement door (after shutting my entire building HVAC down and my first floor pipes froze and busted).

For the nay-sayrs, I even foreclosed a church.

I was talking to @Marc Littmann just the last night and we were discussing how the City of Denver shut down a VRBO house in my neighborhood.

Hey BP,An opportunity has come up for my company to take a commercial "flip" (renovation) of a church in East Chicago, IN.Normally we focus on Residential renovation/flips in the Chicagoland area (Illinois).

That way, you are not slamming the door shut but they may hit you up in a year or two which would be fine by me as multi year responsible tenants are good news.Like Steve Babiak said if there is a reasonable price that lets you step up in property or serves your needs another way maybe put that out there.
