The solution was to put in two large cisterns where the water could collect and receded naturally...which I found out caused the basement of house on the end of the block to collapse in on itself. 

Follow thru with eviction on first of month, cause failure to vacate after proper notice of non-renewal.. don't accept any rent, 

Also, if your tenant is month to month, be aware that you continuously collecting late rent might have tacitly reset the payment date, which could cause you to lose if presented properly to a judge.

And even then you will have to follow the "Delayed Financing" rule - cash is limited to purchase price + closing costs when you purchased OR 75% of the ARV...whichever is the lower amount.If this causes different questions then feel free to ask.  

Wouldn't I be in the negative for a while cause I can't rent out 2 units only 1?

The main issue I have in Miami obtaining financing is passing the owner vs renter ratio in the condo questionnaire, this ratio is always off causing me to lose financing and purchase my properties cash.

Fast forward to a hastily completed job that did not fully meet the requirements and caused additional problems/work for the buyer (me) to remediate, and a seller unable/unwilling to complete the agreed-upon work within the confines of the Purchase and Sale Agreement terms, or provide appropriate credits for outstanding work. 2.The offer on this home was based on four major items being completed (we have in writing from listing broker): new roof, crawlspace insulation, attic insulation, french drain/sump pump.

This seems like it could be a potential cause of conflict: if I own one side of a duplex, what if a shared part of the structure (the roof, for example) needs to be replaced, and the owner of the other side doesn't agree?  

House is in Sharon Hills.Concerns include giving former owner, say, a month but then they wasting my time and reigning on the agreement.Furthermore, there is the possibility of them causing property damage.

I've represented many clients who've been involved with accident related damages caused by tire blowouts, traffic accidents, road damage, et.al.Equally as important are the knock down and set up crews.
