It really seems like the forums have been off for the last few months I've been reading them. 

I asked the GC as part of the conditional last $20k payment to transfer the title to me after his mortgage note default since I'd paid him $40k in good faith for work reportedly completed but needed rework.3.)

However, in the last couple of years, GLVAR modified their PM agreement to include an option for PMs to collect fees while the property is vacant.  

STR and Oceanside may have some restrictions last I checked, I would look deeper into that.

In a last ditch effort I sold my personal home and made about $200k from the equity. 

I have very rarely sold a property over the last 35 years and the income properties I hold now cash flow very well with not to much effort involved.

:Class A Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, 3-5 years for positive cashflow, but you get highest relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% the more recent norm.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 680+ (roughly 5% probability of default), zero evictions in last 7 years.Class B Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, decent amount of relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% should be applied only if proper research done to support.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 620-680 (around 10% probability of default), some blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 5 yearsClass C Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, high cashflow and at the lower end of relative rent & value appreciation.

Lastly, don’t rush—focus on properties in good locations and with solid potential for both income and appreciation.

BK is a last resort and I would not recommend it for only $10k, but every situation is different.

I have a PO Box that i used for that purpose and any other business mail but since converting to ACH i am not sure when its the last time I went by the post office.
