Time heals all wounds I guess! 

Time will hopefully heal any credit/income issues, you get a decent price for your house and no Realtor commissions.Stephanie

I also plan to operate (eventually) the non profit I started (holistic healing for trauma survivors) partially out of this property and an LLC (events etc.)

I currently own a non profit with a mission to break the cycle of abuse and sexual assault by healing those effected and providing education and advocacy.

Everything @Nathan G. said...but, since you're new to this, I just wanted to add that it should all be written down via letter or email, you don't want any selective memory of exactly what you said with this type of a tenant, that is obviously trying to make it sound like it's your fault they ran into the door because your door was improperly maintained and 20 years old, according to them and their "professional repair guy"The trick is saying all that without inviting them or encouraging them to get defensive and dig their heals, etc....good luck!

Since we have lived here he has been learning to cope with it and heal from his past trauma.

Account Closed I respect you trying to turn this into an opportunity but I would keep your real estate dreams/goals/aspirations completely separate from your ailing grandmother.It seems like the proceeds of the sale should go to your uncle (owner of the house) or your grandma.

They are kind of a "vinyl flooring and a coat of paint fixes all that ails you" type of places.

I’m just a neighbor who needs a house for their ailing mother and happened to win a cheap foreclosure auction without fully realizing the home was still occupied full time, which is essentially what I ended up saying when I let him know I now hold the title and need him out in 30 days. 

People don't typically volunteer to move around the holidays, but people do get new jobs, move to be close to an ailing parent, etc.
