For what it's worth, we have two other well-qualified tenants applying for the property so filling the vacancy isn't an issue.

The purpose is to better educate and protect their molly coddled tenants and give the criminal tenants more support at eviction hearings.Best advice is make all purchase offers conditional on vacant occupancy, assuming of course you are qualified to screen applicants or have a very good highly trusted PM.

start fully documenting everything and take lots of pictures, I would start communicating via email or by letter, even send them a certified letter stating damages etc, sounds like you didn't hire a qualified roofer. send a copy of everything to your attorney maybe even have him draft a letter demanding a response, if push for a refund + damages and go with a new roofer

If it's outside my skill level I know professionals that can do it.

Ideally, as you progress as an investor, you will qualify based on your tax returns.
