I've got a tenant that has caught 2 mice in traps in past week and has found lots of droppings, including in her bed and under the couch cushions.

Found water in the crawlspace that had resulted in mold that now needs remediation. 2 units need to vacate for 4 days during the remediation per the remediation company (to avoid cross contamination, vapors, and so they can air scrub the 2 lower units). 

That is what I keep telling her... it is just 1-2 years to set us up for decades of success@Adam Vadnais I agree that letting her be in control will help, good point..

Yea without appointing her trustee my assignment fee was $19,000 and with her being trustee it would have been $29,000.

Usually stone is attached over the sheathing material with a vapor barrier and wire mess to allow the motar to bed in.I'd be careful about figuring the labor to gently remove it (big hammers are awesome, but in good and bad ways :) It could take some time.I love hardie-plank siding.

Install a proper vapor barrier, either mud or cement board or Shluter the whole enclosure and then throw up the tile, you need to cut it anyway.These guys are full of crap....actually probably crooks.

Eggs, butter, fruits, vegetables, herbs, peanut butter, many condiments, jam, honey, breads, etc can all be left unrefrigerated.

Hell if people can find funding for medical ........let say ah........herbs you surely could.

However, now the lender is completely disregarding my wife's income due to her being part-time for less than 12 months (approximately 9 months).

If she was primary, then you would be getting child support or just paying to raise a kid.It is possible with her being married now, that you could go to court and push for a 50/50 co-parenting arrangement, where she no longer pays money.
