You can hire an agent just to show and be a body if they are willing, While its not perfect, ChatGPT is a great tool to ask initial questions and get a launching pad (always verify what it tells you)  - @Drew Sygit - Good point about getting someone to help you with screening if they dont have any "skin in the game" so to speak.

Along with connecting with governing body to confirm zoning and preliminary site plan. 

My thought is, hopefully, I can get something a little nicer or slightly cheaper by being a 20 to 30 minute drive to Bodie island.

Even though it's been standing for 30 yrs or so, it's one major flood or major erosion event from some major structural failure in my opinion, especially being so close to a body of water.

The lakes region benefits from some of the nicest bodies of water in New England as well as close proximity to some excellent skiing, snowmobiling, snowshoeing and other winter activities.

The tenant's mention of a lawsuit is typically an empty threat.As someone that's dealt with plenty of mold and mold claims, this one looks like a fat nothing burger.

Very rarely, those cases happen due to some fat tails event-- recession, war, pandemic, etc.

Audit expenses and cut the fat.

As long as everyone is willing participants and they are not being coerced in any way and are willing participants I honestly don't see anything wrong with it, her body, her choice applies here. 

As far as Scotch goes, I really prefer the full-bodied, heavily-peated stuff from Islay and my favorite is the Lagavulin 16.
