An eviction is going to cost you a good bit of money and time... have you considered buying the tenant out and/or cutting your loses? 

It is scary because you can lose a LOT of money.

highly risky to borrow money to do this.. what happens when the flip flops and you lose 50k ????

Ultimately we in the real estate market are benefited by people not losing their homes in mass quantities.

I would lose the pet fee since they no longer have a pet.  

My biggest concern was having my brothers lose out on first time home buyer perks (low down payment) if they were to be on the mortgage.

And I'm making more money.So, I don't know if the profile pick makes a difference but I say let those that find you too quirky go work with someone that has no sense of humor. 100% agree bro.The folks who are too afraid to lose business and stay in the middle comfort zone all the time don't know just how much business they are actually missing out by playing it so safe.

Anyone interested in investing at this level should have liquid funds beyond this investment value, should be aware of potential losses, and be “okay” with the possibility of losing these invested funds.

OK I am losing hope here!

Even if you took him to court, you'd lose.
