Further, unbeknownst to me, this was an unsecured loan.

I am an investor focusing on vacant lots. 

The trades didn't pay as well back then so after high school I got an associate of liberal arts ( auto repair ase certification) then continued learn in ng took hydraulic system repair and building pumps included and until an injury in2003 was a journey iron working doing structural installing commercial doors where they originally were not designed to be .always running my own side home repair business and taking any chance to learn anything new or a better way to do things because I feel if you aren't moving forward you are  stagnating .I wanted to just say thank you for accepting me and I am grateful for any and all recommendations,tips or critiques as I strive to become the best version of myself I can .

When we invested this was a suburb to an IT hub that employed close to 20,000 people.

He was an older gentleman relocating for work, and his biggest concern wasn’t price—it was speed.

Regarding the listing as an "apartment", what questions have you asked about this?

With any kind of lease violation, the severity of the issue, documentation, objective criteria for correcting the issue etc all play into whether an eviction will succeed.Given that, for any lease violation, beyond what you have already done which is great!

If it's not an outright scam it is set up to take advantage of the landlord. 

Let's talk,DanIve actually been looking into buying a condo myself as an investment, I have a few rules, needs to be with both good hoa management & relatively cheap fee (bellow $600 a month) needs to be in area where I’m not competing against other new construction apartments, needs to be an area where even townhomes are so expensive you are not competing, I.e. upper nw, nova, Bethesda etc. needs to be 1990’s or newer in most cases.

that is going to make it tougher to get a return that justifies using the funds on an investment.
