Fascinating, all of it.  Btw, I have a friend with acreage in Oregon who sells timber. I don't know much about it but she is very fond of that property. 3rd generation. $$$$ cash cow.  I've wondered how that works? Sounds much better than dealing with tenants.

 You don't want to be in a position where you have to tow it. It may not even be legal in your area. If the rules are not spelled out in your lease, he may have the right to keep it right where it is. Try being nice, tell him you need the space for something, and get him to put it on the street. Once its on the street the city will tow it if you complain. If its on your property you're pretty much screwed if you're not the vehicle owner(at least in Seattle). If it rolls into the street at night by itself you would be very lucky.

Where do you get losing 70k selling? If you did Redfin I'd figure about 40k. Maybe you have fix up costs?  I would sell. Yes you may also see an uptick in value with interest coming down.  I don't recommend being a landlord in Seattle. 

you should post dimensions. a drawing maybe?

"get the piece o crap car outta my back yard now! and put it on the street where it belongs.""

You're gonna be stuck with it if you don't get on it.

"Thank you for the request for new hardwood floors.  We are always thankful for suggestions and take them seriously. At the present rate of rent it is not within our budget to allocate the funds for this expenditure. Thanks again for your suggestion, we very much appreciate your tenancy. "

PS. I would never do a project like this with a tenant occupying. AND I would never put in new hardwood floors for a renter. Raise their rent a few more times, maybe they'll leave and then you can do your rehabs with no interference.  PSS. Seattle, worst place in the world to be a landlord. Be careful, the place is loaded with professional tenants.

I always take my new tenant thru the house and show them that the drains are clear and that the drains are their responsibility, it helps to get the responsibility into their heads. Of course roots, or malfunctions are my problem. Too much paper, napkins, toy trucks, etc - tenants problem.  Make sure it is stated clearly in the lease.

Find another plumber. From the info presented here he's a crook. " likely copper bad too"???  One has nothing to do with the other.  

So she can go and do the same thing to the next landlord? Don't do it. 

You messed up. You should have called an eviction attorney immediately when she was late. What are you waiting for? Make some calls. Get some prices. Send her a summons and stop talking to her.
