I slid a small plastic flower pot over them, but I ended up taking it off because I didn't know if plastic over them can worsen a fire risk, even though the wires are coated in plastic themselves?

It seems like you have made a large amount of money over the last couple years, but very soon you won't have a pot to piss in.

At this point I say your best bet is to get them to leave voluntarily, and if it involves giving them money back to do so-- I would. 

You'll get a judgment for the fair market value of rent and, a police escort to help them move if they don't move voluntarily.

In sales their are hundreds off no's before yes, don't stop short of the pot of gold.

I live in a nicer home, higher LTV, lower rate, etc and still have a F&C home if everything goes to pot.4.

But when you need me I am there..I understand also that everyone has different goals and that some want to find that honey pot of a private lender that thinks a 7% return on their invested funds is fab  :)Keep up the good work...

Now it is a melting pot of all cultures living there.

Couches, rugs, plants, table to eat, art, pots, pans, and silverware are a few of the things I provide so that potential housemates can envision moving in easily.

Tons of pots, pans, bowls, glass pie pans...the list is loooong.I go out of my way to buy quality stuff for the house.
