Paging @Garrett Brown our resident STR specialist - what say you about tips for lead photos on listings??

Learn of course, but many of us have purchased properties throughout our career without "iron clad" veils and have done just fine.  

While Pace Morby seems to know his stuff, he puts out incredibly long videos and I didn't have time to sort through all that fluff & didn't want to pay 8k to be in his course. 

Now, of course, you also get some principial paydown, but that may pale in comparison to an equity loss, if things do soften.

I'd do what you can to keep yourself uninvolved with it....but still help your Grandma of course..A trip to the City (Planning/Zoning/Building Depts) will give you some valuable info.

Of course, you don't need to do that before investing, but you need to be building that list.

The courses I took during that period in real estate were some of the best and most informative courses I took during my entire college career.

What should be my course of action- I really don’t see the tenant appreciating what has been done and would rather break the lease. 

10) Knowing what to do if tenant is late on rent or doesn't pay.There's a lot more, but many here on BP self-manage and learn via "trial by fire".Of course, you can always hire a Property Management Company to handle it for you.

With boundaries of course as @Adam Bartomeo expressed.
