Marc M. you have a few solutions available. 1) flip it and not worry about it.

Simply put, I design and implement technical solutions for oil and gas organizations.Currently, I am employed by a major oil and gas company for about 15 years, however, not so certain about the longevity of my career in this field due to incredibly low oil prices.

The solution advocated by many BP posters would have us simply increase our management fee percentage to cover the cost of managing maintenance.

Just keep an eye out for anyone trying to sell you an "easy" solution.  

This Place is contaminated, property is being monitored remotely by surveillance, all persons and belongs will be seized in xx many days...etc. 

If anyone else has experienced a similar situation (trapped equity in high value residential property) please share your creative solutions.

I looked into setting out the bait/traps myself and monitoring, but it seems like a lot of time involved for not much cheaper than paying someone to do it.  

Determined toward building relationships with the people around me and working toward certain solutions for a issue.

I am tired so maybe I am just over looking the simple solution....

Again, I guess I'm not looking for someone to give me a solution to this as I don't see there being one until I can find a career back home and grow a portfolio in time.
