If I was in your situation I would look at creative financing. 

I would view this as the ideal situation,  as a month to month does not commit anyone long term, but I  manage myself.

Your situation with Dohardmoney is unfortunate but I'm willing to help in any way I can. 

They 5 are: Character (reliability, integrity), Capacity (sufficient income or cash flow to service the debt), Capital (the borrower's net worth or how much of their own money they put into the deal), Collateral (the value of the assets that secure the debt), and Conditions (the borrower's situation and the state of the economy or local real estate market).

Not having a house payment/rent payment will make following my passion for animal care a lot less stressful money-wise.  

The electric water heater actually keeps costs down in my situation and makes tenants become responsible for conserving resources. 

Just sharing my story and seeing if there are any others who have dealt with situations like this and what I should do.

My predicament comes from the situation of living in one of if not the most overpriced real estate markets in the world right now.My goal in joining this forum and building relationships with the people on this site is to navigate this difficult real estate market in order to advance my financial situation to better the life of my family.I understand allot to starting in this game is taking action and not sitting back on the fence but I find myself in an area that doesn't allow for an ideal return on equity as far as real estate investing for flipping/renting for positive cashflow.I look forward to having productive conversations with the fine people here on biggerpockets forum in hopes of helping other people succeed while succeeding myself in the ever changing world of real estate.Cheers,Matt Bouwman

Can you try to befriend the inspector over doughnut and coffee  and explain the situation?  

When your personal finances are on track, you will be less stressed when working on your business finances.
