Looks like we are going in circles and soon turn this thread into fairly recent on the same topic"Use HELOC to paydown mortgage fast" - https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/49/topics/329...I trust @Chris May calculation and quickly running my own numbers see the same results:1) No magical secret: as amortized mortgage payment has no front-loaded interest, majority of "magic" works just by making extra monthly payments whatever the source or procedure it is.2) Using HELOC as expense account to "time" income-expense cycle only brings marginal benefits when compared to increased risk, extra bookkeeping  and complexity.

The Government does not follow normal notice procedures.

Many eviction courts have procedures.  

In such cases, if the drafter of the contract writes an unfair clause, which unreasonably benefits the maker of the contract, the court may throw it out.Especially, if they did a high-pressure sales job and kept saying, don't worry about it, it's standard procedure, blah blah.A first-time landlord investing out of state on a limited time to find a manager, and an unreasonable ability to sue that person because of having to travel to another state to do so, could very well be considered the "weaker" party to such a contract.In my ever-so-humble opinion. :-)But, hey, this is why there are two lawyers in a courtroom, right?

Just as I have the ability to enter my tenant's homes whenever I want as I have the keys but again, why would I without the proper procedures.

And in many states, evicting a tenant without going through proper procedures can get you in a lot of hot water.  

Wait to see if the judge asks you any specific questions, then wait for the decision, which is usually mailed to you (at least here in CA they don't decide right there and then).In the meantime, if your court date won't be soon, you could follow the other procedure for paying your rent to the ....I'm forgetting the term ... the court that handles these situations, that was explained in an earlier link. 

When I managed the program for language and cultural support services at the hospital where I worked, we looked into whether we needed to provide written translations of documents requiring patient signatures for medical procedures and other services provided by the hospital.

Most likely you will need to follow the legal procedure outlined for abandonment.

Even so, if the son doesn't communicate with you about the matter, you may need to proceed with abandonment procedures.
