When he asked me to leave, (because the "lady" he was cheating on me with was moving in, yeah I pick winners,) I had no agreement or anything and since I wasn't on the mortgage, he gave me 7 days to get out.

That house sounds like a winner to me!

@Jd Martin Fair points - in my market, it is 70 degrees in winter and I rent in C class neighborhoods, so anyone who stays for their entire lease is a winner!

I couldn't care less whether this is coming from the tenant getting prizes on dog shows for their poodle or from hard work they does himself.

So I think I'm airtight legally.Since the tenant is moving out of state, I suspect that if she doesn't send payment for the bill related to the damages I will send her, filing a case in small claims court will likely make me the default winner, not because I have all the documentation, but because she isn't going to be able to afford to fly here to defend herself. 

You should also check with your insurance company and get a reduction in your premium.You are a big winner if they install at their own cost.

Often the primary bread winner had a larger W2 income than I did, and I was more than fine with that.

Chew gum and pop itc.Yell out You’re a Liar when the tenant is talkingd.Stand there quietly, professionally and have all your paperwork ready and wait until the Judge acknowledges you.4.What should you bring with you to court to make you a winner?

If the end buyer goes that route, they'll have plenty of equity just by virtue of it being a reno'd house in such a prized neighborhood (where several other rehabs have either recently taken place or are currently in progress).

You might have a winner here but I am betting that you have missed something or have incorrect info from your ins agent (needs to know the property is a rental) / property tax numbers (look for state/county and CITY property taxes not just county taxes) / attend a HOA meeting meet the leadership and get a feel for their agenda IE New roofs Paving etc that will cause fee surges.
