I have a bank locally that will use DOT as collateral for loans.

Also, join your local RE investing groups. 

Look up your local laws on how much notice you have to give to to end tenancy and then give them that notice.

Perhaps check with a local attorney before proceeding.I realise I left some stuff out in the beginning, but the whole situation in general is just pretty wild.

I'm a local real estate broker, investor, and manager (100+ rentals, mostly Airbnb/STR and multifamily).House hacking is a tried-and-true method and in Sacramento you can produce some meaningful income while enjoying the appreciation and tax benefits of owning real estate.

It is also possible that either the folks in charge of the station, or the prosecutor have set a policy of not wanting to pursue non violent crimes, or even not paying attention to crimes against folks who are not local residents. 

I'm hosting a local meetup in Mankato, feel free to shoot me a message if anyone is interested in joining!

I'm a part of local real estate investors meeting and I have some good realtor contacts.

I'm a lender local here to Cleveland right downtown and know the market very well.  

Perhaps reach out to local agents who work with a lot of buyers in your market and see if any of them need a place to rent while they house shop (inventory is still low).
