I'm really interested to learn how more experienced investors would approach this.

It also could come from not having an experienced partner to help mitigate risk. 

Purchasing a “distressed” property and “repositioning” it requires significant capital for improvements, build outs, holding costs, maintenance.In looking for that “needle in a haystack” slam dunk great deal you’re competing with very knowledgable, greatly experienced investors with the cash to make no contingency offers and close in a few days.  

Quote from @Brandon Croucier: Hi Kathy, at the end of the day the mortgage industry is so vast & wide it's essentially like trying to navigate the Sahara Desert.I highly recommend working with an experienced mortgage broker who knows the ins and outs of the industry to place you into the most competitive product for you.More times than not, people save money working with a small shop broker.Kathy,I wanted to revisit this to offer a a tad bit more and Brandon above is correct.

One tenant is behind on rent and has still not paid December rent.I’m seeing mixed things online but looks like I have to file something by the 31st?

Tenants will push and try to get everything they can from their landlord.Seems you've done everything possible to be reasonable, yet the tenant is not satisified and wants more.As already stated, you are too much of a pushover, so the tenant is seeing how much farther they can push you.Highly advise you to find an experienced residential landlord-tenant attorney ASAP.

Be very careful who you take advice from online, you should get involved with a local attorney and a local realtor.
