In my opinion those investors are best suited to hire employees or one man operations who behave more like an employee would. 

Older, less luxurious assets are now pushing north of the 6% threshold.With a significant stake in the $4.5 trillion commercial real estate mortgage debt, the multifamily sector anticipates a modest increase in loan maturities this year, with obligations of $255 billion and $243 billion in 2024 and 2025, respectively.

You shouldn't be afraid or ashamed to pull the trigger on a splurge or a luxury if you've done everything else right in your life.

@Danielle Cage overall I agree with others here that you likely have a very challenging situation that is best suited to a fresh start.

I have funded i bet no less than 200 deals in the last 10 year that were from Aussies selling their home that is now a full reno.. many of them in their superannuation funds. ( US version of IRA )  just the dirty little secrets most wont talk about. propertyinvesting.com.auJust posted on there last week.It's completely dead mate.Such a shame.SomerSoft was big and they shut down also and re-started propertychat which is now huge lolBut literally no talk about investing in the US.Aussie's got burnt bad so it makes sense unfortunately Yep, $100,000 in Super for example.Property agreed cost $50,000 but provider put $100,000 on PA.Gave the $50,000 back to Aussie investor so they can cycle money "legally" out of Super.Was a nice little scam that suited many Aussie folks and property sellers in the US.Even tho the property they bought in the US was $#%@ but I guess that was the cost of getting money out of the Super prior to retirement age.

It may be better suited for a conventional buyer depending on condition/finance ability.  

& as we continue to lose many aging friends due to poor health, my wife found this quote insightful …“the older we get the more I realize that the ultimate luxury is not wealth, but TIME” !!!

It is not asset protection in the sense of protecting you from law suits.

This is a no brainer, find a tenant that better suits you.

I just found something interesting: In 2010, when they proposed amendments to 36-60-17 to make things clearer, this is one of the requirements, which would make a water lien sort of like a mechanic's lien, in that they'd have to file suit within 12 months or lose it......I'm going to dig some into that. " (7) A claim of lien provided for under this Code Section 36-60-17(d), shall lapse and be of no further effect one year after the filing of the claim of lien if an action is not commenced pursuant to subsection (1)(vi) hereof on or before that date which is the one year anniversary of the recording of the claim of lien.
