If the booking is non-refundable per your cancelation policy, then I would not refund anything but the cleaning fee.

Rather than lose more time and gray hair seeking justice, I have decided to make my story and evidence public.

You can live it in and rent other rooms..Or else, if it is investment, then have to go conventional or Non QM depending on your financial situation. 

Maybe it’s the commercial lender in me, but I think it’s good business practice to retain, or at the very least have access to, all notices and documents that were given to the tenant.

You would need to discuss with your lender based on the kind of mortgage loan you're trying to get. 

That's great, but he needs to talk with a lender and I have referred him to a few.

Will it be profitable to switch from the private sewer to the public and how beneficial will it be economically if you're not flipping to hold but to sell?

Just closed on a quadplex in Texas last month (woohoo) and am about to start the process of evicting one of the tenants I inherited for non-payment of rent (not woohoo).

Investing in Tyler, TX, can be done in different ways, like traditional loans with 20% down, loans for living in the place, FHA loans, VA loans, private lenders, and buying from the seller.To make more money, think about side jobs like freelance work, teaching, driving/delivery, renting out a room, gigs, and investing on sites like Fundrise or RealtyMogul.

My experience there is with designing a public road and multifamily.
