But in the meantime you can see the new paint and what the house looks like right in the middle of a BRRR rehab.Family room with fresh paint.Staircase with new paint.Front door and front porch view from family room.

If you plan to owner occupy it can make sense here, but from a pure investment point of view you should compare possible duplex cash flows to other markets, before you invest too much time in this market. 

My view (and i could be wrong) of it was to have the rehab done so it improves my future exit strategies. 

However, that is a near-sighted view. 

I understand your view that your VHR will go away completely but it’s not accurate to say all VHR are going away completely. 

Just another point of view, happy to answer questions any time.

The house sits on about 1 1/2 acres and has an incredible view of a beautiful golf course hole.

There are a lot of great options out there; aside from providing the basics (ie. listing tool to get the property published to 10+ major sites, scheduling tool to schedule viewings, tenant screening with comprehensive applications which include nationwide criminal background checks + credit checks + eviction history, digital lease creation tool, rent collection tool, and maintenance tracking tool), some services also offer your tenants additional capabilities which makes it an easier sell on your end when getting them to transition over (ie. their ability to report on-time rent payments to the credit bureaus; this can create an added incentive for making sure they pay that rent on time).

I think in that situation, rather than pay what I view as nothing short of extortion, that I would buckle down, get comfortable with the eviction process, evict, sue them for the rent and any damages owed, and draw a hard line as appropriate in all other areas of dealing with them.
