It can become a really big mess and lot's of them failed the last downturn.

here is the situation. i left a really good paying job to take care of my 81 year old parents because my dad is chronically ill and my mom is almost there. i wont go into too much detail, but my sis doesnt help them. ill leave it at that. we have a person who comes twice a week to help with cleaning and other household tasks. i carry the bulk of the weight cooking their meals, running errands, grocery shopping, picking up meds, and taking them to dr appointments. its a full time job. i get a small salary of $1000 a month from a care giver sub contractor for the VA. ive been paying my bills with what savings ive had, but only have a few months of funds left. i own a duplex. i have over 200k in equity. i live in texas and texas has weird laws about refi and heloc/heloans when the property is 4 units or less and owner occupied. i would rather not sell, but if thats my only option i will have to at some point.does anyone have any advice or possibly be able to point me to lenders who might be able to work with my situation?

Some are basically renting out bed space and require tenants to sign an agreement to stay clean, and be tested upon request, with failing the test potentially leading to immediate eviction.

The reason why most investors fail is because they are not properly capitalized.

I would just feel like a dead weight and once they has the info they could ghost me. 

The plaster shows mildew, and because it holds so much moisture, he has recommended taking down the damp plaster before the weight of it collapses.  

whay you fail to understand is that I am currently the nation's expert in credibility and Conversion strategies.

You fail that test as well. 

This should transfer the weight of the room to the new support as the seasons change.  

Send them a short, professional notice that they failed to abide by the agreement and you are putting the rental back on the market.
