The contractor's board will only interfere if you have made or exhausted all your efforts to resolve the issue, if you haven't tried to exhaust all efforts, you will simply get pissed because they will tell you to.

They would have to exhaust their options, provide documentation about unemplyment and how they are looking for a new job - I'll definitely work with them and see if we can find a flexible and temporary solution, like half rent. 

I have definitely not run your numbers through the exhaustive spreadsheets that you have access to as a Pro member, but a really rough rule of thumb (I might get my hand slapped for this) that many investors I work with as a realtor in my area use is that you should gross monthly 1% of your purchase price.

So, I would exhaust HELOC first, before using my own funds.

Also please be aware that all of these people’s options have been exhausted and their rights to fight the process, fully understood.

I need to do more of an "open house" type of tour so I'm not exhausting myself over so many days.

Sometimes they just plain abandon the property after exhausting every possible illegal tactic to make money out of it.4.
