@Shaun Ng i own a title company in MI - and i am sure we could help you if you were here however, if VA is an attorney state then you can get help from a title attorney otherwise chat with a title company. 

One of my tenant works for an Industrial company in the area.

There's little to no benefit to the owner and the person running the arbitrage is missing a very obvious, much simpler business opportunity- just start an STR management company and operate as such.

Are you using a property management company or managing the property yourself?

Hi @John Daniels - the mortgage company I work for, Assurance Financial, is based out of Baton Rouge and we have offices throughout Louisiana.

I haven't used REI Nation, but I have done due diligence with two turnkey companies that I am on the waiting list for properties that work for me.

Today I got a certified letter stating a lien has been placed on the property by the landscaping company they hired but have not paid.

Nobody wants to be a "GM" in a company of 1, right.

The insurance company says it’s too much of a fire hazard.

If you are getting financing, the mortgage company will need to walk the property for an appraisal.
