My wife of 43 years "stayed home" (she had been designing Nordstrom Stores before we married) and she raised our most excellent children along with me.

Another longshot - Put an ad in the paper that you're searching for next of kin - illegitimate children can come out of the woodwork!

Document all of your efforts to get rid of this tenant, and to secure the dogs and get rid of the dogs as soon as possible (if you end up the target of a lawsuit, you'll need to prove that you took every step possible to mitigate and eliminate the risk these dogs pose).This is a really unfortunate situation, and it makes me really mad at the negligent tenant who didn't supervise these dogs...however, there is a bizarre silver lining: although it's horrible that these dogs attacked you, and I definitely feel sorry for that, it's much better that they attacked you, and not the neighbor's children (who could have been killed or much more seriously injured than you were). ...this could have been a much bigger tragedy than it was, so let's be thankful that the worst case scenario didn't occur...

There are two adult children that would be on the will if anything were to ever happen. 

Some creative fencing/Landscaping can allow for you to house hack without feeling like you are sharing the personal space giving you the privacy you maybe looking for while raising young children. 

go for smaller, less and less milennials are having children and the zoomers are no different. 

I hate to sound so spiteful, but I'm beyond grateful that the exact same people that kept my children home from high school (despite their desperately wanting to attend) have lost their crown jewel. 

My wife and I manage 26 LTR’s by ourselves, have done numerous flips over the years and raised 3 children all while I work 60-80 hours a week in my “regular” job.  

Do your children want to inherit this house?

She also said he has no immediate family (parents, siblings, children, spouse).
