The hardest part is taking that first step, and you’ve already done it—now it’s all about being a sponge and jumping in when the opportunity feels right.I am happy to answer any questions you may have.

One more thing I should address:  Installing cameras inside of a residence with other tenants can be a HUGE legal violation.  

If need be, I can/will go down the legal path again, but I would like to avoid it as I want this property flipped ASAP.

@Asher M.Possible, yes but like your lender pointed out it's going to be difficult to pass the self-sufficiency test (SST) for a legal 3-4 unit property.

If you need financial help, ask under the "Finance, Tax, and Legal" forum.

The fact other properties have chewed up sidewalk isn't a sound legal argument either.

Legal 6.

The absence of a personal guarantee from any disqualified persons is still required, just as with third-party financing.

So, to try to go a legal route because they might have fixed something a little over the limit isn't going to work.You will have to face that you selected someone that was not the right fit and be more hands on.
