Now setting up a HELOC (preparing for rain, right?)

You will need to be specific---what is the nature of you bad credit (do you no credit/not enough credit, judgements/collections/liens/late payments, etc.).

It's awesome but then I have to remind myself, come the fall and especially November through March, the "weeping rain" and no sun for months will be upon us soon. 

Being the summer time in Florida we get a lot of rain and ants start to pop up a bit more.

If this pit bull lawyer makes clear he is going to be collecting market rent back to the start of the tenancy, the tenant may decide to cut bait and agree to vacate in order to not risk a judgement against him that will result in him owing a lot of money.Good luck

We must follow the Revised Code of Washington (RCW) or we risk judgement against us.Pay Rent or Quit is a 3-day notice for us.

Holds up really well in the winter rains to.Have had the property for over 50 years and it works fine and tenants have never complained. 

If you can get a court date for the owed rent soon, when they don't pay the judgement you may have an easier time enforcing against them since you know where they live right now!

Them blaming you for the area being unsafe is like them saying "It's raining too much.  

However, the more information you give, the more concerns ariseYou can't just sell without addressing the child support lien and the judgement.
