I have been eating homemade lunches for 32 years, anything I can buy used I do, we don't eat out, my wife is a stay at home mom so no income from that side, no amusement parks or long vacations, Only a short list, probably a ton more stuff.

Have a process server post the notice to vacate on the door so you have third party service that can be proven.

If you are renting for less than 30 days, it can be classified a vacation rental and additional laws, fees, and taxes may apply.

Of course using 1099s etc. your father can do what he wants with the loan$$ even invest it in a 506 or go on vacation. 

My wife and I are looking to purchase her deceased grandfather's home and use it as a vacation rental property. 

I self manage my vacation rentals and so there is tons more work that goes into those but again the money is  10x. 

In Florida, it can take about three weeks to settle an eviction lawsuit against a tenant who neither pays the rent nor vacates the property after receiving a three-day notice, as Evict.com states.

Hi, I'm a rentalpreneur with 3 years experience in all aspects of vacation rental hosting via airbnb.

Regarding your question, I took a 4.5 month vacation a few yrs back and after that I realized I was no longer in love with the idea of trading my time for money until my 60's.

I used my 2 week vacation to install all of the electrical, furnace, and gut the bathroom, solo.
