It's a sad story, but they are unable to let go of the drama and that lifestyle at least 9 times out of 10.So, she may be getting out of her lease with you, too, based on domestic violence, and then using that as her defense to eviction - again.  

Even if they agree to do the cleaning or accept as-is, that sets a precedent (whether conscious or subconscious) that this is the condition of the property.  

So I've made a conscious decision to buy and hold in these areas.

Section 8 is a two edged sword that helps people that want to improve their lives, yet creates mobility for bad people to enter neighborhoods that are not accustomed to criminal lifestyles. 

The lifestyle has changed with the new generation.  

Good that you made a conscious decision based on looking at the property, you are actively looking into potential deals and that's how you will find one that right for you. 

If you had rented instead of owned you would be farther ahead but home ownership is not a investment choice it is a life style choice.Sell and move on.

I've already had two jobs in the recent past and that is a lifestyle I have more or less denounced.Here's the short version of all that:Option one:Refinance now and make anywhere from $130 to $170 a month, depending on HOA feesOption two:Sell and go look for other properties if I have to be a real estate investorOption three:Struggle it out, maybe get a roommate to help with bills, live like no one else for around 3-4 years so that I can live like no one else til the end of timeYour help is much appreciated.

I suspect with his inflated lifestyle he is really pushing it.

The violent dogs are victims of violent owners or victims of forced violent lifestyles.
