I put the art before the horse a bit yesterday and posted an ad for help on craigslist, luckily I've gotten quite a few with research experience but at this rate I anticipate getting more that don't have a researchers skillset.

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.

They tore up my neighbors horses and goats and my chickens.

Widow lives 4 hours away and she is tired of this tenant, but it seems like when she tries to do something, Tenant manages to delay, stall, change topic, complain about something so that Landlord can't move forward. 

Not just yet, I told her, but soon.We had purchased some new light fixtures and had planned to paint the place, then consult with my brother (an attorney) about how to rent it effectively.The next day the same woman contacted me about boarding her two horses...sure!

I would suggest applying for a loan modification, even if you don't end up qualifying the process is stalled during the review period. 

I would also love to open up my own horse facility and allow special needs students from the area to come enjoy the farm and ride the horses. 

I wouldn't put the cart before the horse.

Typically when you finally chisel down to what you need to be doing today, it's a reality check and you'll want to get on your horse!
