I’ve signed a legal lease with them to protect their housing, but I’m still stuck pursuing the original buyers for breach of contract, trespassing, and damages.At this point:I’ve paid a $5,000 legal retainerThe buyers owe over $18,000 in missed paymentsDamages include a kicked-in door, scratched interior doors from pets, damaged siding, and HVAC tamperingAnd now they’ve taken up “residency” in the basement when the original buyers tried to call the cops on the ones living in the property due to not receiving payments from AirBnB anymore (because they are paying me directly).

(I'm retired military and have five homes total.)This was my first of two loans with Navy Federal and the other homes are VA loans.The military choice program is primarily for military members/veterans who exhausted their VA home loan benefit, so you will need to live in the residence.
