I would inform the neighbour of your plans and gauge his response.

From 2000 to 2007 when I lived in Greece, and yes, the standard Q&A joke for people my age from middle-class, left-wing families that supported the socialists was:"What do you do for a living?""

Its neighbouring home just sold for over $550k not too long ago:) I have used this site to locate owner info - http://maps.indy.gov/AssessorPropertyCards/, but after doing some digging, I am 95% sure the owner has passed away and house might be vacant (but not boarded up).

If you didn't know about the leak either from your tenant or your neighbour, it is hard to do anything about it.

If your "gut" is to be extensive enough to need to remove the electrical entrance for an extended period, you can have the entrance moved to a temporary mast on the property ... perhaps even with an panel (may need to be sheltered to comply with local code) to provide electricity on-site.The other alternatives are to 'pay a neighbour' to be able to run a few extension cords from their property or use a generator.

The reason they require the offshore company is b/c Apogee Ventures, LLC is a Greece company actually.

And tollerate unauthorize guests in neighbours house.

Sometimes, in life, and certainly in Real Estate Investing, it is ok to be the better person, as this lady is acceptably on edge and bitter from all the rather "interesting" neighbours, so I don't blame when she says I will sue. 

Try looking at neighbouring states.

The lower on the income scale the better, so think Greece, Portugal etc not Norway, Switzerland etc.
