Forget about the late fees and payment plan, you'd be lucky to find any judge who would enforce it when the tenant showed they weren't even living there any more and were still doing their best to pay off the balance. 

ya were we live ( personal resi) we have humungus doug fir trees 100 plus fee tall basically surrounding out lot and if one of those falls on your house it can destroy the house and if your really unlucky it can squash you..

That's when it hit me.I believe that even though none of the properties these tenants were living in took damage from the storms, they applied for FEMA assistance anyway.

The property has been in excellent condition since it was built two years ago, and I’ve lived there myself without experiencing any similar issues.The lease is a standard Texas lease, and I’m seeking advice on how to approach this situation fairly.

I live in California, so I am not familiar with the local banks in Ohio. 

Having said that, the federal government put a restriction on buying houses if you don't live here. 

@James D cissell I also invest and live here in Tucson.I would love to connect!

I live fairly close.

Time saving in property acquisition, building improvements, purchasing living units, etc.3.

Everyone needs a place to live. 3rd Question: This is a thorny one.
