What are the rules for removing this person, as I understand it he falls under hotel rules, not the landlord tenant act.

Things I personally try to build before breaking into a new market.1.

If the home was still your primary residence throughout 2024 and not actively listed for rent, it would typically remain classified as a personal residence until the lease began.

But, you need to talk directly to the person whose name is on title. 

She is a real estate agent but rents so no property to place a lien on.Need to know a couple of more details first: Is/was the mobile personal property or real property?

I'd personally sell the townhouse (doesn't sound like it cashflows or would make a good rental property) - you may have no capital gains if you have lived in it the past 2 out of 5 years - I believe the first 250k for single filers is exempt from taxes and the first 500k for married couples.

Make sure your personality matches your path.  

It’s a business account and I just checked, paying 3.95%, more than my personal one!

I have not done it personally but have some insight, maybe my reply may boost your post to someone with more experience in it. 

A nice but expensive duplex on a beach or in an expensive area might be ideal, if you can swing the other half out of personal funds.
