I have called lenders, and they say either they're renting them out, or they don't have any REO.Since lenders can often be slow to respond, I stopped looking at them. 

I would venture to say that a few hundred dollars for some advice could save you thousands. 

My Mentors & a few of the lessons taught:- Age 0-13: My Father - Integrity, Faith, How to Love & **How to Play Spades**- Age 13-17: Coach Jones - Commitment & Grit- Age 17-20: Coach Larkins - The Value in Reading & How to Think Bigger- Age 21-24: Sean Myers - Never Stop LearningHow important has mentorship been for you?

I would even venture to guess that it is not a simple letter to the lender or trade that gets a lien release.   

All of my current rentals were purchased from Lennar up in Princeton, and recently Lennar has stopped selling to investors here.

If what I wrote is not clear to you or if some of my assumptions are wrong, then stop your DIY attempt and hire a tax professional.

I hope to make more connections there to either lend or venture into the PMP space. 

Learning NEVER stops. 

My goal is to work for myself and stop my 8-4 job at some point.
