Hire a company/person that is solely a QI like @Dave Foster they do it every day and will keep you legal and on track. 

Personally, I've been in the mobile home investing niche since 2007.

It should go away.If it's only them smoking and a personal issue, I would reconsider dropping this if they are otherwise good tenants.

This is my first time and I'm buying a fixer upper that needs a new compressor, roof and a total kitchen remodel.

However, I also have ways for them to pay with cash, card, money order, cashiers check, and personal check.

I lost nine pounds during the remodel and at the final week of work, I fell face fist off the ladder and was knocked out and suffered fractures in my face.

I also use business lines of credit from banks, but for this banks definitely want to see revenue (usually 5-10x the amount of a mine they will give you).It is important to remember though that just because these lines and CCs are not immediately reported on your personal credit report, if you miss payments or default you are personally liable and the debtors will add it to your personal credit report.

Plane, Train, or Automobile and meet in person.

That's the way I look at things personally. 

Would I pay for all the remodel expenses and then 50/50 split of profits or does contractor pay remodel cost?
