I purchased the property with cashDistressed investment property so couldn't find a bank to financeHard-money lender is requiring clean title to provide rehab loanCost of rehab is $100KCost of repairing city violations $27 - $30KAt end of rehab, the property will become part of our buy/hold portfolioLooking for options to get the repairs/rehab done without digging further into our savings.

If an owner couldn't properly clean a toilet between tenants then I wouldn't want to rent with them. 

I was able to meet lot of great folks, drove around everywhere checking out different neighborhoods (low income to high areas) and properties.Loved the diversity, and was very impressed how well maintained and clean the city was.  

And the cleaning quotes I'm getting are 400-500 alone, not to mention the repairs.We're already beyond the scope of his security, and I'm going to have to pursue legal means.

Sometimes having drains cleaned will get them operational again, but the problem will come back over time. 

If you clean up the park, fix up the junky homes, fix up and rent out the empty homes, and get rid of the bad elements, people will be willing to pay more.  

Not a clean answer but here are some thoughts:One of the best mentors is to get a job working for whoever does what you want to learn. 

You do a mutual lease termination, let her go asap as soon as she can pack and move, the sooner you can advertise and get a new tenant in,the better for your bottom line, give her the deposit back as long as the unit is left in broom clean condition with all personal property removed..

Same with cleaning up between renters etc. 

Since it's a multi-story building with interior hallways, they hired a local cleaning lady.
