On the first property, we sued and won a judgement of over $6,000 but I have not seen a penny and it's been over 18 months since the judgement.

Additionally, while rates aren't historically bad right now, they are higher than 4-5 years ago, and they will be even higher for you as an investor than they were as an owner occupant, which is what you were when you bought originally.I get that you are anxious to add to your portfolio, but that could be achieved without touching your first golden goose.Sometimes on BP, the push is to leverage every last spare penny, but that can be a risky game as the markets shift. 

I would give her two weeks to move everything out and hand over the keys to an empty apartment.
