Threatening health or safety of other residents3.

Any food for thought is appreciated!

Since you don't have kids yet you could look into Jersey City, it's very easy to get into NYC, there are a lot of multi-families, and once things go back to normal there is a good food scene.

I would also tell her you will need to do a credit and background check on him for the safety and security of the other tenants. 

Not to say you stop doing or not be involved, no, keep at it as are BUT under the safety of having the Pro every step of the way to protect against the missteps and mistakes that as you have found, are far more costly than the fee such a person would have been charging. 

Food for thought. 

Cook your own food, do your laundry, have more space than a motel room.

Get a lock box for the contractors and let them lock up for their safety. 

Alcohol, petrol, food, transportation... stuff you know that people will always need.

Just food for thought.
