Unbelievable.Now we have another court date.My lawyer is concerned that the tenant will show with fake documentation and the judge will hold this over for trial where each side has time and the opportunity to call witnesses etc.I will obviously win in the end , but this tenant is willing to do whatever he can to live for free.

Feel free to message me anytime with questions/concerns, happy to help if I can.

I had the same concern when I was looking for a place to house hack.

That said, I don't buy CFDs and perhaps many CFD investors (particularly beginners) don’t realize that’s a key risk between secured notes vs CFDs.

I agree with the previous poster.Also, to alleviate this concern with his next tenant, I suggest your FiL contract to begin service with the garbage collection company, increase the rent by the amount of that cost, and then market the house as "comes with garbage collection!"

I'm open to suggestions on beginner books to start on (just finished Rich Dad Poor Dad) and anything I can do to get started now (house hacking isn't an option for me).

We have read the beginners guide and it confirms the areas we are most interested in at this time are buy and hold (mostly multifamily, although we are not opposed to single family), possibly some fix and flips, and wholesaling.

Start with the most damaged tile/s if you're concerned about the removal process. 

If evaluating something like this be aware that even though it may be grandfathered in...the fire marshal can deem that the homes are too close based on safety concerns and rule that you can’t bring in new homes 

Chris has a great post discussing TK: https://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/mastering...My concern as a new investor is the long term performance of these types of investments. 1) Who has purchased something TK and would be willing to share actual vacancy, maintenance, cash flow, appreciation (if you've had it long enough), etc.?
