Let the police know that you have a neighbor dispute and will prosecute to the full extent of the law should any damage occur on your property.

Having a PM helps ensure these protocols are followed, which will save you down the line if you have a deposit dispute, etc.If you have extra time(showings and paperwork), are somewhat detail oriented(paperwork and screening) and can be stern when necessary(no/late pays), then do it yourself.

Hopefully they won't care to dispute it with you and you'll be home free.

Sure you can get a tr-merge credit report from a broker but the credit companies will not let you dispute it that way.The credit reporting agencies want your cash.As soon as you set up an investigation and dispute with them online it will get the ball rolling.Within 30 days the reporting company has to show proof the debt is valid or it gets removed from the agencies.Usually these companies send a letter wanting to settle on cents fro the dollar before they start reporting to the credit agencies.The reason is once they know they report it their leverage to get payment goes away as credit is damaged.If this book thing really is yours you need to negotiate a "payment for deletion" instead of a "payoff" or a "paid in full" which stays on the credit.The payment for deletion gets the whole thing wiped off your credit and can never return.

This is a new one for me, so just curious if there have been similar experiences and what the resolution to this is.

It's been a pretty enjoyable experience so far, but I'd like to begin thinking about investing into real estate. 2017 New Years Resolution starting early if you want to consider it that.Anyway, I'm still very much in the research phase of understanding this colossal industry.

The commission may impose a civil penalty of no more than five thousand dollars upon any unlicensed person who, after a hearing or informal resolution in accordance with all provisions of this Chapter and the Administrative Procedure Act, is found to have engaged in real estate activity without the benefit of a currently valid license having been issued by the commission pursuant to the provisions of this Chapter.

Do I have grounds to dispute the charge on my card since the lender did not follow through with the loan?

This thought process just makes the most sense to me based on what I've read so far on these kind of disputes.
