He ended up at the UPS store (where all our mail goes) and they had to call the police.

(We would have previously updated the mailing address for the loan so the check comes to us, not the borrower!)

Then it was radio silence even from CCIA.Until a video of him circulated on the web (it is now removed).

Look into a skip tracing company without a long-term, high-priced monthly commitment, and flexible pricing that returns, landline numbers, wireless numbers, and emails, all sorted and identified.

I just got an email yesterday from a real estate broker looking for a release on a property under contract on behalf of the borrower. 

Tonight I mailed them a letter informing them that if it wasn’t all gone by September 30th I would be disposing of it.

Quote from @Derrick E.: A local realtor would know more than those of us on here.If you are wanting to increase ARV then it sounds like that’s not going to happen.If you just want a nicer home to potentially get a better tenant and keep them longer, then the 1/2 bath would probably help.

- Properly document your rental income on a schedule E and report it to the IRS.Connect with an Investment Friendly Lender- Not all lenders are equal.

You don't know the law, you don't know how to handle difficult tenants, and you aren't local to work on it.This is what Ohio law says: “The tenant shall not unreasonably withhold consent for the landlord to enter into the dwelling unit in order to inspect the premises, make ordinary, necessary, or agreed repairs, decorations, alterations, or improvements, deliver parcels that are too large for the tenant’s mail facilities, supply necessary or agreed services, or exhibit the dwelling unit to prospective or actual purchasers, mortgagees, tenants, workmen, or contractors.”I would give the tenant a short, direct warning that they have 72 hours to coordinate with the vendor and set a schedule for repairs.

I am mainly looking to connect with investors, but if you are an agent that works in the city I would still appreciate the market insight.If you have done any residential flips, rehabs, BRRRR's, rentals, or any type of deal and wouldn't mind just connecting over the phone/email, please reach out.
