Emotions will LIE to you. 

What I've learned in the end is that these home inspectors are not skilled in communication and they treat a small issue equally with a crack in the foundation or faulty electric panel. 

In your shoes, my goal would be to get to know folks and make connections - Open the door to have them communicate with you should there be any problems with the property and ensure they call you (not the cops).  

In the future, conduct more thorough screening and educate your tenants on proper communication practices.

In addition, the owner of the home must not own more than three single-family homes.3) They are unable to provide sufficient documentation, such as the emotional support animal letter, that verifies the ESA is necessary for their health and well-being.4) The tenant provides fraudulent documentation attesting to their need for an emotional support animal (usually a fake emotional support animal letter).5) The landlord can demonstrate that making accommodations for an ESA would impose undue financial burden or logistical burden. 6) The animal is destructive to the property or displays threatening behaviors that could put other tenants or yourself at risk.7) The size or nature of the animal makes it impossible to house safely or humanely.

If you make this a balloon payment in say 5 years, you've helped your cashflow, and you can refinance to pay out the balance of the 2nd mtg.I do have to ask though - you seem quite emotionally invested at this point - what are average house prices in this neighbourhood?
