It still made sense to purchase but unfortunately my investors got nervous at the last minute since we were in the midst of a pandemic and the stock market was doing funky things, so they pulled their cash to purchase it and all my cash was tied up elsewhere, so I had to move forward with the quad and 9 unit. 

In the event that you do have a true squatter its a fairly standard eviction process which is unfortunate but does happen in this business.On a preventative note if you have a vacant unit you can put in a security system that uses cellular and you will get notification if anyone comes in. 

Unfortunately, most landlords wait until a problem appears, then they eventually realize they are behind the 8-ball and try to figure out how to fix the problem.Do yourself a favor: buy "Every Landlord's Legal Guide" by NOLO.

I unfortunately signed the lease without asking for paystubs especially since the female tenant is just starting her job this week.

I'm uncertain what to do in the circumstances since while I have documentation which indicates participation in every transaction I'm claiming going back years, I seriously doubt she has such documentation or if she does have records, would be willing to provide it to the state when they ask. 

Unfortunately, I made several budgeting mistakes along the way and now have less equity than I had hoped for in the property.

So, for example, if we go to war with Russia they could use that as an impetus to implement rent control for a short time to stabilize the economy to support the war effort.I'm guessing they used the federal governments responsibility to provide for national defense as authority for creating this TEMPORARY law under EMERGENCY circumstances. 

Keep your goals in sight and stay adaptable to changing circumstances.

I inherited my stepdad home unfortunately because of his passing...I have always wanted to do the Airbnb venture and thus unfortunately gave me the opportunity.

Unfortunately, they tell these OOS buyers all is good, when it's not.
