I would not change the locks until you worked out a new lease deal with Joe (unless you feel there could be violence, which if Jane is crazy, a new lock will not stop her).If Joe is unable to handle the lease on his own, or work out a deal to settle up and start a fresh lease, I would just start the eviction process.Joe will either come to the party, or maybe just bail.Either way it sucks, but it is better than getting sucked into the Jane and Joe drama vortex.Michael P Currie

As for limited funds, you could use that to market to find deals and wholesale or work out owner financing.

The numbers don't seem to work out when analyzing it as one deal.
