Sounds to me like your first move should be to sell your NJ rental and invest the proceeds somewhere more profitable.

There were 3 major things I needed done that were freaking me out (one being the rear door was just plywood because the back door was in the middle of being reframed) and I was looking at the Maryland Home Improvement Commission's complaint form.

I'd recommend keeping it simple, clear, and unemotional and enforce the lease or you will burn out or not make any profit.

I am looking at a park that is pretty awful, which too me is exciting because I see lots of potential to take this poorly maintained commercial property and polish it up for some killer profit.

I am a young 26 year old college student, who is a finance major, with about $500 to start with.

Hopefully I have a little better luck here.My current employer offers an exceptional benefit through PST, or our profit-sharing trust, program.

One of your major obstacles here may be your level of MF experience.

But that’s not to say you can’t do the deal..Instead of going the hard way, I recommend an easier, more profitable path.

See BP Podcast 229 for more information.If I were in your shoes, and depending upon how good the friendship was, I would ask her for a portion of the profits she's made thus far, since you gave her a "friend's rate" on the rental and she's technically violating the lease, it's only fair.However, since you think she's not going to be honest about what profit she's made, I would assume you really aren't very good friends, just very old acquaintances.Regardless, I would terminate her lease at your earliest opportunity and begin short term renting it yourself.

The thing about short term is you can usually command much higher rents, however, even just a few days of vacancy can wipe out your profits and I saw large SFHs sit vacant much more often than smaller apartments/condos.
