I now have a solution for closing these deals without needing a more experienced partner.

However, your property manager should be able to guide you on legal options and solutions to secure the property and possibly help with claims for damages.

I can share some solutions feel free to send me an email.  

Or other solutions we should consider?

Fast solutions have slow problems, tie yourself up in getting cute and the reward is you get a property and risk is you lose it all.

Currently the manufacturers "solution" is to "not allow the temperature inside the house to vary".

I deal with a lot of problem tenant solutions in my state. 

Goal is to create long sustaining growth and cash flow that I could eventually sell or use to eventually secure a retirement home and place of my choice! 

Motivation is an emotional response to a circumstance, not the circumstance itself.Although the sensible solution to the circumstance of being in foreclosure let's say, is to sell their house, the reality is that the emotional response to being in such a situation is to find ways to keep their house, not sell it.So ibn order to find motivated SELLERS, you need to first understand what a motivated seller is.A motivated seller is not someone that wants to needs to or even has to sell their house.
