It will take about 10 minutes to find out if it is allowed, and procedures to follow if it is.

Naturally, you could expand on this and do 4, 5 or even 6 contacts.

If she doesn't do so, then I will start the eviction procedures.

It is intangible property that is generally capital in nature in the hands of an investor, but may be inventory in select situations (e.g. dealing in crypto, some mining situations).Your definition of a security is also not a traditional one. 

Things, by nature, take time: just as many quit the gym after they don't see that weight come off on January 15th  It is the quintessential story of 3 feet from gold!

I was wondering if anyone had suggestions for me to take a look at such as videos to watch, articles to read, and things of that nature.

The insurance company will try to determine what caused the crack ... if it was natural soil expansion/compaction, it's unlikely they'll cover it ... if it was, say, from a plumbing leak, there's a much better chance they'll pay for, at least, a part of it; however, that would then pose a different issue for you - I've seen new policies become very expensive when there are prior water damage claims on the property. 

As for BRRRing out of state being made possible by great relationships with an amazing GC and property manager - these relationships naturally ONLY develop over time (maybe started with turnkey rental and got to know then this way) or are there those GC's and PM's who specifically work with out of state buyers?

Too much turnover and too little knowledge of their own procedures for MY comfort.
