FHA is a pain for the seller.  

@Adam Johnson to be effective in the note business, you must focus consistently and equally on what are the three pillars: capital, deal flow, and note administration.

Therefore, since you are not being "bettered," you have not received income.However, emotional damages like pain and suffering are usually considered taxable since they are not physical injuries.

I am looking for someone to do cold calling, some basic data mining (with specific instructions), and other small administrative tasks.

I understand Cleveland is a pain when it comes to water, sewer, trash and has o be in the owner's name. 

The key is that you need to get the daughter to assume the role of Administrator/Executrix of the Estate. 

Wow, that's painful!

I was set on a 3/4 unit MFH in Long Beach or Los Angeles, so felt like a painful blow when I read the update.

See: 30 day noticeLegality aside, if I'm annoyed with the tenant, the sooner he moves out the better, instead of nit picky and being a pain and demand "where's my notice".

I know that unruly tenants like this can be a pain but I don't think you have much legal recourse here, but best to talk to a local real estate attorney!
