It would appear that the recent conviction was in 2019 which might explain why he may not have a license.There also appear to be a restitution judgement of 15K etc.

Keep in mind the vast majority of judgements are never collected and the tenant may not even show up.

We have a judgement against her for 15k, I do not have her SSN to begin the collection process.

It takes time.The judgement will need to be taken to your title company and they will release.

I find it hard to believe that any MC can come on your property and do work without your approval or your PM's approval and then charge you, sure, and then win a judgement. 

You're emotionally attached to it and I think that would cloud your judgement if managing it as a rental. 

One is not better than the other, in fact neither may further your goal and be a giant waste of money as far as learning to "Invest" goes.And having the knowledge to hammer swing the repairs (Sweat Equity) will not make up for poor judgement on what to buy, or what to do with the property, pre-flip.

For repairs, you have to make a judgement about how much you will need.

The liens on the title are judgement liens with collections companies represented by attorneys.
