If its something major like termites then of course it should be your responsibility but normal every day pests is theirs to address. 

This should also be spelled out in your lease, which, after this situation, you will likely want to update with more specificity to address this type of scenario.

I have no idea what current property tax is, but it will likely be just over $600/month when readjusted.  1031 has no value because 1) with the rebaseline to TOD value, there is no gains to address 2) it was not an income property.  

It sounds like you have a decent lead if it's been abandoned for a while and is in some level of disrepair.If you email me one of the owner names and the property address I don't mind pulling some reports for you.  

(full disclosure-I knew the guy, or know him, he's not dead just gone from the auctions and haven't talked to him in a few years, but he was always nice to me and I don't have a clue as to the validity of the federal charges against him, but he always treated me decently and I've got nothing bad to say about him and I know other landlords who've been demonized and slurred as slumlords when I think they simply bit off more than they can chew, while other real slumlords seem to operate for years, as long as they don't get too big) He used to kind of dominate those auctions and maybe that was a good thing, as I'm sure there's a whole cast of characters who've filed that void.Thing is, ANY property under $100k, maybe even under $150k or $200k will certainly have multiple bidders, there are a LOT of people like me when I'm looking, who have the subscription to the sheriff's sales info reports from the Daily Reporter ($600/year and you get the results emailed to you in an Excel spreadsheet on Tues, next weeks auctions emailed on Thurs) and another good indicator is I'm on an email list for one of the firms (actually out of Chicago) which handles a tiny, tiny fraction of the cases and I've looked at the "cc list" or whatever you'd call it if ALL the addresses that email is sent to and there are HUNDREDS of them on there and this is for I think Johnson Blumberg, who many weeks don't even have any cases in MKE or Waukesha Cty.

In my jurisdiction a landlord is mandated to provide all new tenants not only with the landlords name but also their address for the purpose of the tenant being able to serve notices on their landlord.

You are the beneficial owner and your name, address and id detail should appear on the filing.

Consider all the things that could go wrong and see if the lease addresses them: unauthorized pets or tenants, early termination, security deposit, lease violations, late rent, eviction, lawn maintenance, parking, etc.5.

I will address the challenges of my market.
