I own a 3 apartment income property (almost paid off) and I wanted to ask you for some advice regarding acquiring more properties like this. would you suggest selling the income property and use the profits to acquire more properties or keep it and finance any new property with a new loan. what is more appealing to banks?

I wasn't suggesting in any way paying someone off.

Stop trying to descontruct whether or not she gave proper notice and whether you'll have a leg to stand on in court.  

RTC stands for "Over the Counter" which itself means, liens that were not sold at the original lien auction and are available no on  a first come first served basis at face value. 

Obviously the net number is what's most important to sellers typically but I have found escaltion clauses and offering free rent backs to the seller are just a couple of ways to make your offer stand out. 

What or who do you suggest I speak to or learn from to better understand my options for mortgages?

These minor tweaks won’t cost you much, and I’ve seen them help properties in Phoenix and Chicago stand out, even when the paint is a tad faded.So what’s your take - do you think guests these days actually prefer a hint of authenticity over a picture-perfect exterior?

They can help assess the market value of the property, considering its condition, and suggest the best sales strategy.Direct to Investors or Wholesalers: While 'we buy ugly houses' companies often offer below-market rates (as they typically look for deeply discounted properties), reaching out to local real estate investors or wholesalers could be a worthwhile option.

I would suggest an out of state investor really needs to get an objective set of boots on the ground.

I would assume stand alone homes might perform better during that time.
