I got a lawyer at the moment but they don't see to be too great regarding evictions and kind of unsure about the whole situation so will see if George Gibbs can provide some clarification on it.

Im just trying to network and provide some value

As a few have mentioned, the best way would be to call the listing agents directly, but depending on how much time you want to dedicate, setting and going on multiple appointments with different people could prove to be time-consuming. 

For many years I was contacted by the housing office to provide input of my rents, both Section 8 and market rented units and participated in their annual surveys. 

When you say they were incompetent can you provide more feedback for novice investors. 

Big things is be realistic on timing and maybe provide a mover and or storage unit deposit as they may not be able to figure that part out on their own.

To which Id say it depends on when you bought, how you bought, what you did to the properties CapX wise, and how you managed.

I would look FAR AND WIDE for someone to do an investment property HELOC -OR- go to a bunch of banks and CUs (including who you bank with now) to find someone to provide an unsecured (or secured if you have other collateral) LOC to get rid of the high int debt.

But perhaps you would be better served helping a local experienced investor find deals and ask them to show you exactly how they analyze deals, what's good vs bad, how do they finance (debt vs equity) etc etc and understand their business model that has a proven track record by providing value to them.

We just need to make sure the lender can do the loan without the tax map key   really depends on the lender, a direct lender who uses their own money may come down but a hard money company with 20% down on land even with other collateral may not want the deal.
