All work done to raise value after TOD is not legally in that stepped up basis.  

Someone in the legal profession told me that we can give her 30 day notice and then proceed with an eviction. 

Agreed mate,I'm all about taking personal responsibility and I have been swindled many times in a similar fashion like many feel on this thread.It seems like these investors including myself in other instances get negligent and don't read between the lines.Especially after trust and a relationship have been established, we become gullible and don't second guess or question.Maybe it's greed for some but in my instance it wasn't.Just innocent and trusting stupidity (No, I'm never a victim as that is ******** mentality in my book).I had some spare $$$ and wanted to diversify in other assets through folks I considered friends and trustworthy business partners.Didn't even think twice to look things over.Looking back, it all makes sense now but it's easy being a general after the battle heheI only blame myself here...I mentioned in the thread further above that I lost to the tune of hundreds of thousands of dollars.Again, it is what it is and it's a lesson.Only myself to blame and have always taken the high road in such instances.As much as I'd like to fight for justice and go down the legal path, it just isn't worth the time and emotion.Upwards and onwards.Become better and make more than you have lost.Each to their own and that's just my personal "modus operandi"

If HOA by laws state past due owners are responsible for all late fees and legal expenses for collection hire an attorney to go after the past due. 

@Ryan Daniel  I will preface this with the fact that I have a legal background, specifically with estate planning and asset protection in relation to real estate investments.

All existing STRs with 2 days rented in the last year will be granted legal non-conforming status.  

I know it’s no longer legal to do wholesaling in SC but let’s say you have the money to buy the property and you can turn it around.

They also handle legal matters, like making sure the property follows the rules or dealing with evictions if necessary.For finding deals, I recommend starting by connecting with investor-friendly agents in your target market.

Isn't it unlikely that a homeowner who cant afford a 2-3k tax bill would even challenge this legally?
