It's unfortunate but anyone can claim tenancy rights.

Additionally and unfortunately, your lack of track record most likely precludes you from having any serious shot at putting together an investment partnership or syndication.

If you delegate tasks out you'll find your sanity will maintain its current level, your risk will be mitigated in most circumstances and your network of influence will exponentially increase which could lead to more deals.

The neighbor would be the only one with recourse in this circumstance, for trespassing, but good luck on getting him to care.You violated the lease.

I have an opportunity to get a mortgage for the first time ever (due to a confluence of positive circumstances such as mortgage rates, my DtoI ratio, my wife working, etc) and am inclined to get two or three, thinking that a good SFD is almost always going to be a good bet if it flows and doesn't need a new HVAC or roof for some time, and even if housing prices drop due to major economic fundamentals going awry such as a stock market bubble burst or our debt problems coming home to roost, or the middle class going the way of the dodo bird ...

I partnered with two people in 2013 -- one turned out to be the best partnership of my life (circumstances required him to do most of the work and I'll spend as long as it takes to repay him for his hard work) and the other turned out to be the worst (circumstances required me to do most of the work and he bailed on me before fulfilling his end of the deal).Main lesson learned: Rarely will a partnership work out where both sides do equal work -- if you're doing the bulk of the work, beware; if your partner is doing the bulk of the work, be thankful and don't take advantage.

Unfortunately, it's a good hedge against inflation or a housing market bubble burst to have a house that is very rentable and a low interest 15 or 30 year loan in place, and enough cash flow to keep your head above water.

However, in your case they should allow you to do that under described circumstances.

Insulation obviously in my circumstance are not code, just an FYI for others.

Unfortunately most of my patience are between 60 and 80, most of which have a hard time breathing through their mouth let alone through their nose.
