This seems not to be a viable option because there would be an increase in my interest rate. 

@Stevens Jaquez hire an experienced eviction attorney and be sure they explain your options throughout the process.Not paying the electric may be seen as retaliatory in some states/cities.

Hi, @Mike Lambert I've been talking to some credit intermediaries to get some clarification on the various financing options available.

You have 3 options, 1.

Having a plan to reduce the price or offer incentives can help get tenants in there faster, which is key to keeping your cash flow steady.Overall, you’re in a good spot with that ADU, and with a bit of flexibility in your strategy, you’ll have options that can really work for you in both the short and long term.

I suggest connecting with a few investor-friendly lenders to discuss financing options like rehab loans & hard money.

If purchased using financing, then I know of a few options who would be able to lend on the new value.

As far as I am aware, there are minimal options for financing in Dominican Republic--either Scotia Bank or a local Dominican bank.

One of the options that I was recommended is having one of your tenants as the manager and maintenance guy for all other properties I own.Anyone experienced with such a concept?

However, your property manager should be able to guide you on legal options and solutions to secure the property and possibly help with claims for damages.
