(You know, like if you have a small condo and their service animal is a miniature horse that you cannot legally turn down, lol).

., but - if you already have a property under contract, the stable door is open and the horse has bolted.As one of my mentors says, "dig your well BEFORE you get thirsty".Build your buyers list FIRST!

The tenant defended on "Check for partial rent not received" (which I sent by certified mail and they never picked up, so I got back) and some pest issues (which I have proof of getting pest control done a few months back )Also, the tenant never notified me for any of these in written way, Also, very sarcastic, rebuked several people on property including not paying rent on time.Are there tactics that tenants employ in such situations or get a state sponsored (no cost to them) type of attorneys to stall the process or draw it out?

You can lead a horse to water but....you can't make them think (sic)

Lastly, I hate to beat a dead horse, we keep hearing "inventory is decreasing" which is true in most cases, but things seem to be cooling a bit.

Smart investors know better than to hold onto a declining investment and won't waste their efforts flogging a dead horse or HOA in this case.You may prefer not to sell but that would be a major investment mistake.

We have a huge World Equestrian Center that will be marketed heavily in September or October and I have spoken to one of their realtors, who said my place will be ideal for a developer or for someone with major money to set up their trainer and horses while they live in Golden Ocala so they won't have to pay the extremely high prices for tiny farms within the Equestrian Center.  

I'm ready to stop beating this dead horse with you Colleen. 

Fix her and her co signing husbands credit during the 6 mos (We run a credit repair business)Sell back to her in 6 mos at $250k (ARV $250k) (she wants to not have to put more money down at that point.)HERE IS THE SCOOP ON THIS ONEsister(Amanda) and husband ( put $20k down to buy a house under her brothers name with the good credit in 2008 for $199kFixed up the place added horse stalls for breeding. masonry and other value adds for them.

If there's exterior access you might consider putting a keypad lock on it and setting up storage stalls down there.You can market it to the crowd you were initially thinking of to store their ski equipment in the off-season.This is probably the cheapest reno you're going to get away with since you can just frame in what you need.
