I finally got her out and a judgement for the unpaid rent.

This past week there was a heavy rain storm and the front yard and back porch area got alot of water and caused water to penetrate the walls and garage door.

I will need someone very reliable, honest, uses best judgement, motivated, hardworking, and well-liked by investors/owners.Appreciate any recommendations!

Even in an area where it snows or rain a lot?

My guess is that we've had a lot of rain (A LOT) and the ground under the house sits lower than the surrounding grade (which looks decent to good, btw).I had 45 postholes dug at my place about two months ago and water just STOOD in them for weeks...one unfilled hole still has water in it.

Everything I read thus far said even if I get a judgement,  good luck tying to collect.Last month,  I was able to locate a partner who agreed to fund the completion of the project.  

If you purchase the property on Tax Deed you are also purchasing the liens, either a tax lien, Vendor Lien or a bank as well as any judgements.
