This type of mentality always produce a bad experience for both the owner and the agent. 

The tenant mixture includes and adult daycare, two law firms, tax/accountant, home health care, guidance counselor, and cell phone towers on roof for At&t and T-mobile.

The goal is to leverage experienced, local, licensed and insured contract construction crews rather than living in a DIY mentality forever.

After a lot of mental gymnastics I decided that it’s would be best to end their tenancy.

Financial reason like the condo in Raleigh is too small for increased family/ mom lives with you and something wrong with current house that causes health risk like she needs in home ventilator and electric panel not enough Then you have to PROVE this on paper: see I took in my nephews when my sister died or doctor letter and electrical contractor... cannot be that you don't like the house or want a viewProbably not FHA but if you have a Fannie go to broker who sells to Freddie and have a clear paperwork showing the reason, not just because of flight transportation- you knew this when you bought so is not new financial reason.New lender might offer non owner terms or make you accelerate existing loan to non owner

Are there any websites that you use and trust to accurately tell you how safe an area/neighborhood is? I'm having trouble finding a resource I feel great about. Thanks in advance!

My husband and I both work full time jobs, but due to some recent health scares, we took a step back and looked at each other and said "what are we doing to stop being chained to our 9-5 and have finanical freedom to be able to enjoy our kids and most of all... each other!"

You won't see that money again, and I would mentally check this off the list and move on.
