i feel like property is abandoned but concerned as there are a whole lot of things normal people would take with them.

One of the BEST posts I’ve ever read concerning advice + information. 

When people express concerns about starting an Airbnb in smaller markets, it genuinely amuses me, as this experience has proven that success is not limited by location.

Here’s a refined version of your message that maintains your original questions and concerns while improving clarity and flow:Hello,Since January, I haven't received the full rental payment from the property management company.

Common concerns in pre-1940s buildings include outdated plumbing, old electrical systems, and structural issues that could be costly to bring up to modern standards.

Do you think the rising taxes might eventually become a bigger concern, or do you feel the benefits will continue to outweigh the costs? 

The “worst” appraisals I’ve seen (on a consistent basis) as to over valuation are on non operational health care facilities.  

I’ve been looking into coastal options and was initially considering Florida, but the taxes have been concerns. 

My concern for you is that it appears that if the owner comes back, they only have to pay the bid amount + costs, not what you paid for the broker.

Basically the concern is they tie up the property, collect enough rents to make a little bit, and then just default.
