They need to learn how to get along as neighbors, or choose a different type of housing.I would make a site visit to see for myself what is going on, meet with both parties, discuss the terms of the rental agreement, re-establish our expectations, and do an inspection of both units.

Has the mother established residency... changed her address to that location, moved her belongings into the unit, received mail there, etc. ?

I actually moved here last year for 9 months to learn the market and establish a team and buy a bunch of deals!

That establishes them as a contractor.

@Jay Hinrichs,The concept is based on "micro-lending", or collecting enough lenders / credit cards to accept enough small portions of the risk to add up to your desired goal.Of course, multi-million dollar goals are going to be limited to established S/C-Corps and/or LLCs with strong credit histories.

You are not relying on the representations of someone a couple thousand miles away.I agree with you about keeping the PM as the main contact...you do not necessarily want interaction with the tenants beyond what you have established.

Like anything it takes awhile to get established and start earning trust for your business in a community.

Depending on his management style, he may find the tenants choose to move-out on their own if he establishes new property rules that they don't like.

There are many ways for someone to establish possession of a property be it by signing a lease, permission of another occupant and unfortunately squatting.

As it is already a shared driveway, is there anything on file already that establishes rights/access?
