When I decided to move from Austin to Los Angeles, I chose to keep my house. I've owned it just over a year and i love the little guy.
I decided to rent to a contractor friend of mine who said he would work on fixing it up while he was living there so that I could eventually sell the place.
5 months later... nothing has been done. Oh, the A/C was worked on. that's it.
Month after month, rent is never on time. I can't even get the jerk to send me the signed lease back.
I feel like I have to sell the place. I'm struggling each month just to make ends meet in Los Angeles and with my place in Austin. I haven't paid my HOA fees since January and I now owe them 800 dollars.
I feel like such a failure.
I can't even get my tenant to call me back or return a text message. I don't know what i can do at this point since I don't have the signed lease. I've probably really screwed myself.
Any advice?

) due to renovations and holding out for the right tenant but we ended up renting for twice what the last guy was paying and to a top-notch company (Fortune 25), so we NEVER worried about the rent.
