Options1) I have some cash buyers who are ready to acquire the property under the as-is condition2) Make basic updates to pass U&O, rent it for two years, and refinance it after to take out my investment and profit. 3) Make an update to get the maximum value from the property (Bought at $126K, as-is value $165K, and updated value $265K)The challenge that I am facing is to make the title clean faster without waiting two years so that I can take my investment out and put it into the next foreclosures.

. - Have had to sit down all five tenants and reset expectations in terms of cleaning (including the 68 year old co-worker).3.

Thanks @Chris Seveney that's where I am leaning as well, keep it clean because I don't think its possible to revalue 50% assets that I buy and keep mine at same basis.

How clean and safe is the neighborhood?

I pictured a management company that handled rent collection, cleaning service, etc..

They really don't have the power or right to place any kind of lien on the property while they simply have it under contract and aren't doing any improvement to the property. 

Keep growing that Roth IRA, as the principals of compounding interest in the absence of taxation are powerful! 

Pays power but water /sewer are unpaid for 2 years & accruing in my name & they won’t shut off water to an “occupied” house.

It can be an extremely powerful tool to start to scale. 

When starting we relied 100% on B2B cleaning vendors.
