Otherwise, I would always suggest hiring an attorney to draft one up for you, or at the very least, find a template and have an attorney review it to be sure you've got your bases covered.Good luck! 

I actually suggest you just start on Airbnb, price low but not too low so you get bookings but not trash bookings, and spend a few months learning the flow and working with cleaner. 

@Tosin Omoba I just use regular epayment options like Venmo and CashApp but wouldn’t suggest this at all if your tenant is already messing around with the date of payment.

Was going to handwrite letters to property owners in my immediate area and maybe include a photo of my wife and I.Can anyone give me any suggestions on best practices?

I strongly suggest finding a partner that does have experience.

The key factor to consider is the special assessment, as it will impact the value of the property and the return on investment.However, the fact that the assessment will be paid by the seller, and the condo is being offered at a price below market value, suggests that this could be a good investment opportunity.

Perhaps you are eager to move on from this property (emotionally) given the history, but given the facts you have outlined-- it seems like a fortuitous asset to stand by :)Hope this helpful and good luck!

Any suggestions on how I move forward or what options I have?

Appreciate the suggestion nonetheless.

I would suggest you "house hack" a 2-4 family as others have mentioned.
