If she puts up a fuss about where she will live, tell her she can shack up with one of her drunk friends.If she doesn't want to leave, then hit her with a formal notice of termination and start that process.

@Charanjit Singh I live in the area again and I am familiar with some of the locations and properties.   

I live in Texas and have one primary residence and eligible to get another property in June (1 year mark).

If you notice my posting history I am investigating purchasing my first condo in the next few months and am investigating some potential scenarios.I am looking into living in the unit for a little over 1 year and putting it up for rent either with HCV/Section 8 or finding a tenant through my brokerage(L&F) or other means. 

Chances are, the living arrangements and property use is not as it was supposed to be.If the money is good, set a lease with extra provisions for the dope house cleanup when the tenant leaves.You can't charge for the plants, but you can charge for uncommon use of the property.

We live in San Jose and would like to ideally start our first project that is closer to us.

@Tyrell HenryI'll simplify:Don't start OOSDon't start with hard moneyDon't try a major BRRRRHouse hack or live-in flip insteadhttps://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/live-in-flipGood luck

For the last 5 years, I have been self-performing live-in flips with my wife and two young children.

I had been looking for properties around the area I currently live, but very few make sense in regard to the numbers given the current state of the economy.

Homeowners still living there need a place to go so your pitch may not matter.
