I'd like to continue self-managing and trying to run as lean as possible while trying to get the snowball growing, and am now looking at ways to eliminate as much of the week to week and annual management overhead as possible, while keeping my expenses low while my cashflow is low.

I'll try to keep you posted

Keep that in mind if you're remodeling this property. 

The other thing to keep in mind, keep it simple and buying things you don’t mind getting ruined and are easy to replace.

Find a good eviction attorney and pay them to fix this problem.At the same time, I recommend you look for a professional property manager to handle your rental and keep you out of trouble.

I’m curious to know more on how you came to the decision of keeping the property vs selling.

I would highlight this for other investors about keeping reserves and if values start to soften this is a perfect example of what can go wrong when you are over leveraged and don’t have cash.

If you can't keep control of your personal finances, you are highly unlikely to succeed in real estate investing.

It has to be presented through your attorney (or by you, if you have the knowledge of the process).You lender on the auto has a say as to whether you keep the car.

Yes, the interest rates are higher, but they are to be carried over a short term - 1 to 2 years max, and you'd be making interest only payments, which will allow to keep payments lower while the property starts making income for a refinance or gets sold as a flip.
