We've contacted the neighbor and he's agreed to draw up an easement to resolve the issue.

Rehab took longer than expected due to contractor issues but we were able to find a new contractor, complete the work and get the property sold.

I'm very familiar with self managing in terms of the tenant screening process, getting the tenant moved in, and maintenance etc issues during tenancy, but this will be the first time I'm trying to prepare for a tenant move out.

Don't look now but another seismic shift is coming to a real estate market near you.As you might have heard, there have been several recent class action law suits and even Department of Justice guidance that could change the US Real Estate market as we know it. 

Also, if the tenants pet is an issue for you keep in mind you’ll be receiving a security deposit from ALE so the damages will be covered 

For example, sure there is sa record AMOUNT in mortgages, but probably because of the low rates, the actual cost/payments for this borrowed amount is really low.The only issue being shown here is the credit card debt...

@Kim Durst Potentially you could take the $10k, then have another $10k (or whatever amount you feel covers your cost if there are further issues) held in escrow.

Check your local building permit department.  

In MHP's they are regulated like cars rather than real estate, but the renovation is mostly the same (sans foundation issues, and structural issues if leave the outside walls intact).

It was a leak, fix it replace the sheetrock and damage other items and move on Why would you file and insurance claim for such a small issue?
