Quote from @Spencer Elliott: Long story short, land is on loan and I’m purchasing a manufactured lot as a temporary home/future ADU to my final build.

Private loan that I paid when the sale was finalized.

Tonight I'm going to look over my statements versus our interactions and finally make the call.

Finally: *DO NOT* let tenants attempt to fill holes or do touch up themselves.

Out of my 32 properties, I’ve seen insurance rates drop by up to 40% on renewals, and property tax increases are finally slowing down compared to the crazy jumps we saw over the last five years.

We submitted an unlawful detainer last August and finally got a response from the court in December.

I closed for both sides and had a chase them round for final signatures.Also might I add the property could be falling down, you basically have to send your staff out to take pictures and videos to send to them to get them to even budge on any price.These homes they have have been sitting a long long time and most cases they are on the city’s list of zombie homes and ready to be demolished, you won’t find that out with no title search and survey, you find that out the day your workers show up to work ready to get this thing back to livable to be met with more money spending ventures.Bottom line.

I finally had to take a week off work and make myself incredibly obnoxious to ICE (the electric company) to get everything sorted out but our power is now on. 

Finally I came to my senses and served them a 'Notice to pay rent or vacate by the 10th of January' after which I plan to file an eviction.

I ended up having to pay for their tax preparer’s time to (finally) meet with me and make corrections.
