I agree with @Natalie Kolodij You should focus on finding someone you correspond well with as opposed to someone who is local.There is a big difference in TYPE of gain and type of loss.

This is backed by screenshots of email correspondence with her retirement company but it has been at least a month and a half of back and forth to hear back about this loan and still no payments.

<<Should go for all correspondence with any tenant in which business communications take place.

Would you be willing to receive four draw payments that would correspond to four phases of the rehab project?

Correspondingly, all business income taken from an LLC under similar circumstances is subject to self-employment taxes.

 I did proactively reach out to my tenants although I was much more concise then others in my correspondence, no response.

I would get all correspondence in writing and send over a signed copy of your request to terminate.

I now want to terminate a lease and all my correspondence with the tenant has been through text and email but my lease states I have to either 1st class mail or hand deliver (post to door or using door slot allowed).

This almost always means there is no corresponding enforcement from the city to try and go after individual operators such as yourself.  

We make sure we are copied on all HOA correspondence so that we may act quickly when needed.
