I'm probably only going to tackle cosseting things myself.

I suggest that you tackle the problem that is right in front of you - you have an eviction they you want to do and need a lawyer.

From what I can tell, you need to tackle these problems as a system.

I decided to take my intermediate at best knowledge of home improvement and tackle it my self.

Working on getting a local RE lawyer and title company to tackle this.

I'd be curious though how you analyze and tackle your SFH props for flipping, rather than renting.  

I am looking to continue my education in real estate, try to minimize expensive mistakes, seek mentorship with people that are willing to offer legitimate information/guidance and not trying to "sell" me on something, better understand how to work with investors to fund the projects I want to tackle, and over all guidance around how I can take my competitive, detail oriented, results driven, hard charging work ethic and attitude to provide my family financial freedom.
