Good luck on your journey and I hope you provide the financial security you hope for to your daughters. 

I've collected thousands in security deposit from my guests who've caused damage.

On 12/19/2024, we sold it for $99,000, securing a great return.

If not, negotiate to buy it, get future cash flow secured, & take the next couple months to do the updates in between guests then get updated photos.

Do you have any suggestions on how we can secure long-term financing under these circumstances?

Being a 20 year mortgage expert and real estate investment veteran, we used our mortgage company to secure below market financing.

It's simply factual:  you violated the lease by smoking, stop it, remove the resulting odor and that a repeat action could result in eviction and loss of security deposit.  

They are now in breach. 

With over 20 years of experience as a mortgage expert and real estate investment veteran, we leverage our mortgage company to secure below-market financing for our clients, ensuring maximum value and profitability.

If you see work crews reaching out, ask the person in charge of securing housing where they go looking.
