So, you'll be looking for those with some correctable reason they can't get a bank loan.

Your program sounds spot on, I like the "graduating" to less restrictive properties, but initial intake into the most tightly controlled home.The NIMBY factor is certainly an obstacle, but can be overcome with persistence (of legal action to enforce one's property rights, assuming one is in a correctly zoned area).something that could be added is work outreach program, as the ability to find work after recovery is obviously critical.

Correct Wale, the aggressively paying down debt IS the strategy I am pursuing. 

Hi-Desert market seems very saturated now and I do think the market will see some correction by the abundance of Airbnb's. 

Granted, he has owned it about 20 year now, if I recall correctly.  

Someone correct me if i'm wrong but fair return is all encompassing and includes all conditions listed by @Paul Merriwether.

It looks like you are an employee: is that correct?

@Patrick Roberts is correct.

so after reading all the posts, it sounds like his best bet is just to move on and walk away finding another place maybe coming back in future to keep contact with that person if he really wants that location… Correct me if I’m wrong, but my analysis from all this is that hiring a squatter would only be applicable in situations where the person who is occupying the residence never had a lease or contract therefore it is a rare circumstance where it would be a viable option.
