Harden up, and have some cash set aside for things like this--it's just part of the business, and not quiet at the "Horror Story" level yet.It can get way worse.In the future, be careful when vetting possible renters.See some of the postings in this forum about renter vetting.As to your question directly, what you can and can't do, and the associated dates are controlled by your state, (and and maybe city) laws of the property address.Maybe posting the property state and city will help responses.Bend Oregon will probably be different than Las Cruses New Mexico, which will probably be different than many parts of New Jersey.Good Luck!

A Solo 401(k) would also be worth looking at if you are considering but have not yet converted to Roth, or as a means to set aside future contributions from your self-employment income.In a self-directed IRA, it is still an IRA, just with different choices on the investing side and a whole lot more control than conventional IRA accounts.An IRA may invest in real estate, whether all cash or with a non-recourse mortgage.The IRA is on title to the property.
