@Tom OchiengI would reach out to a real estate attorney for specific advice on this situation since you already have one tenant who is being difficult.On a side note, when I have inherited tenants, I have been most successful when I have provided longer non-renewal notices, like 60-90 days, and offered to assist with moving costs.

This is not one of them from my recollection.I know this does not assist but what I would say is continue to do research on them.

The permits and architecture was done prior to start.).For most people the finances are the limitation to scale.  

Our instincts are to eventually rent it and use the income for payment assistance on a new home mortgage.

@Joshua Patterson nice intro, but what specifically do you need our assistance with?

The people we are dealing with are definitely not such people.

I suspect there would be massive blow back if the feds attempt to lower sec 8 rental assistance. 

I have heard good things about Ohio, Indiana, etc.5 - Due to high interest rates flipping has become highly risky and most businesses have dried up.6 - Co-living and Assisted living seems to be popular right now.So - really depends on your market, your strategy, and your timeline.

Start anywhere—offer to assist, intern, whatever it takes—and absorb as much knowledge as you can.

Many people make the mistake thinking it's all about the Relationship.....It's not.
