You are a real estate investor who makes a living "working" with homeowners facing foreclosure to find the best possible resolution to their problem.

I called the county regardless and it appears that given that he did pay for the repair he is not on breach of lease (being that he paying would be the resolution to the breach of breaking my appliance).I also told him he does not seem to be happy in my unit and if he wants out, he can pay a penalty and leave.I just replaced the fridge and all other appliances are in good condition and I am afraid he will destroy them.

We are continuing to make payments on a house that is not being worked on with no end resolution in sight.

I would track and call animal control every time as the home owner as Corby suggests.If you are not prepared to do this as a necessary resolution then live with it or sell th eproperty.

I will not be able to build capital funds quickly enough through rent charges  to handle these expenses - so am seeking advice on how others have handled similar situations (the resolution of the large capital expenses) upfront, during the sale - and the impact of one way v. the other.

Thank you for your reply ~ I do consider this a LessonLearned; but still need resolution to the current situation :/

I did not immediately purchase because I was closing on another property at the time and needed the cash.As 2018 rolled in, along with my New Year resolution of taking more action in real estate investing, I booked my second call with MI and spoke with Glenn.

How will you automate dispute resolution?

Next, be resolute that you are going to buy EVERY property so that it will cash flow with 100% financing and that you will have AT LEAST 30% equity at closing on every deal (more is better).

Liability & Licensing – Confirm in the written agreement that the independent contractor has liability insurance and is fully licensed by the state and any other relevant regulatory agencies.Dispute Resolution – You may choose to include a clause requiring disputes to be settled via mediation.
