Moving forward I advise that you still have the property properly inspected during due diligene.

Take ownership of your mistake and learn to do the proper due diligence recommended above😊

That’s why it’s of the highest importance that you properly screen your applicants before they become your tenants.A background check will verify a person’s identity and provide any eviction history.

However it could be worth 170k-180 if everything was fixed and I think I could get it going as a functional rental property for the purchase price plus another 20k and some blood sweat and tears and maybe could get it reappraised in a year and do a heloc, but I could end up being 160k in when you factor in lost rent and is 10-20k inequity worth the gamble? 

Assume you did properly when buying, and bought title insurance, th3ck to see if your title insurance covers

There is like a 2.99% fee for an instant transfer or a free transfer takes 2-3 days which probably isn’t a problem for most with proper planning.

HVAC not running properly b/c thermostat needs a replacement, furnace runs ok but doesn't work without thermostat.

You don't want the animals on your property, so don't accept them.I would only allow the parents to move in if they were willing to sign the lease and pay market rate, and that assumes they pass your screening (based on what you've shared, I doubt you're screening applicants properly).
