Your situation may be different from mine where you may or may not be able to househack like what I'm doing, but I found that I was able to find a lot more properties to work with once I shifted my focus from trying to make money on my first deal to gaining experience.     

I wouldn't know to cry or laugh in your situation.

Situations like this are the reason small claims court exists.All investors must understand that trust is not a part of doing business.

Until then, we'll just keep on making money on it.I'm in a different situation than @Omar Khan, in a completely different part of the USA.

Every state and county is very different with their tenant protections, so I think it would be wise to call your local sheriff and let them know your situation.

If it's determined that you are not a tax resident of Canada you would be able to benefit from the lower US tax rates and additional tax benefits such as the use of 1031 exchange, and accelerated depreciation.If you would like to discuss your situation in a bit more detail feel free to reach out to me directly, I may be of assistance.Thanks, Elliott

Does anyone have experience with this type of situation?

I hope it's not been that long...As an investor, I avoid property management companies like the plague because of situations like this. 

Has anyone ever been in this situation and if so what did you do? 

She wasn’t very happy, and told me I’m not empathetic at all to her situation.
