She’s currently not paying rent, and while she has some health issues and no stable income, she’s been communicative and open to general talks, with a possible option to vacate through a cash-for-keys arrangement, though this might take around six weeks and some hard work.I plan to rehab the property and eventually rent it out, potentially to a Section 8 tenant.

I've been a licensed agent here in Maine at the Augusta-based Pouliot Real Estate for the last 2 years, but began my real estate career in Savannah, Georgia (my GA license is currently inactive).

I’m based in Atlanta, GA, and currently exploring passive real estate opportunities in the area.
