I have been in situations where a person invited me into their house (one instance was several large men who lived together) and I declined, because something didn't feel right.

You would only have to evict for non-payment but in a owner finance situation you would have to go through foreclosure preceedings which could take a few months.

I want to see if anyone has even come near to the situation I'm in and if you have any advice.

If the owner is still in the house our strategy is to approach them directly, treat them with respect, and have a candid conversation about the situation.

I don't mean this from a supersticious standpoint - it's just a matter of putting yourself in situations that will allow you to catch "luck" more often than other people, by researching things on a daily basis and working to be the one to see them first and prepared when one comes along.

Let me start with a hypothetical situation.

So I'm sort of down about the entire situation.

It depends on your cash flow situation at home.I like property and am a Buy & Hold Investor (so I am bias).

Imo, contractions shouldn't be used in professional situations, either.

Usually that is more of a wholesale situation.
