At that point you control the costs, style, layout.

If staying alive is more important than earning a few bucks, I recommend you sell the investment property and purchase a single-family home or a duplex with totally separate spaces so you can control your environment.

I’m looking to help my parents when they retire in the next few months/years. 

Can anyone offer any advice on how you control your spending and keeping a budget?

The only victims here are children if there are any since their parents didn't make arrangements for their stuff and the landlord who was left with more work. 

Being that I am a single parent and only work part time I think I would qualify but I am not sure what braver because they have extremely below, low income, moderate, and 38 year term so I am trying to figure out where I would be on the scale. 

Investment Info:

Single-family residence buy & hold investment in Bellbrook.

Purchase price: $300,000

Cash invested: $270,000

We have statewide rent control with eviction preventions.

Parent's are tenants :) What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

Or in the case of my most recent flip, a friend from ages ago connected me with his parents who ended up lending me $50,000 for six months.
