If the deal is good enough, i would inherit the tenants and get rid of them one at a time. especially in this cold winter. let them pay the heating bill for another month..lolWell, this is in the City of Philadelphia, and I suspect it has gas heat (the OP would know for certain).

The sign for the park says that it is a mobile home park co-op. 

TBH, I don't know the fines or punishments for renting a not-primary  residence in Denver - I'm sure you do and I'd love it if you shared for the OP's benefit - but this "tenant" is showing no regard for the legal document he signed.

@Anthony Dooley  sounds like the OP is simply undercapitalized to own any kind of real estate whether a rental or a home to live in.. and as such rental is the ONLY option..

@Caroline ApostolosWhat you're saying is generally true, but OP says she's going to live in it after the rehab is complete, at which point she should be refinancing out of the hard money loan anyway.

@Jeff Copeland  your hard money lender who wants to stay in business is going to coach you on the exit.. so this OP will get some feedback from the lender.. the lender will want to know he CAN refiwhen I did a few thousand of these loans for investors as the HML  I would not make them the hard money loan unless they had a Bullet proof pre qual and I did some underwriting of them as well.. to make sure my loan was going to get retired in 6 months.. were it all fell down was when refi's or BRRR got halted in 08 09 and everyone was stuck in their HML s  properties normally are negative cash flow if your paying HML rates.. while waiting to refi..  

I'm thinking of renting the apartment I'm currently working on utilities included since I don't have house electric, gas, or water so that I can add a coin op washer/dryer in the basement.

The solar covers all the tenants' electricity (UNLESS the tenants start a grow op or try to get around gas heating costs by using space heaters.

Sorry OP I wasn’t much help, just wanted to comment and say thank you

@Keith Thompson OP is dealing with a tax deed sale, not a tax lien sale.
