The advantage to the seller in my mind was tax savings, and getting several properties liquidated at a time.He has back taxes owed on the one property he currently has listed.

He doesn’t have the liquidity and can’t get over leveraged through one borrower.So the fee is less but you’ll be looking again.

Net Worth of the borrower principals combined need to equal the loan amount and the liquidity needs to be equal to or greater than 9 months of debt service.  

My advice to Account Closed would be to liquidate it.

This time I took photos of them breaking all the house rules-leaving 1.5 hrs late, extra guests, spilled liquids on the floor and some unknown substance staining the sheets, photos of a cigarette box, cigarette butts, cigarette ashes.

Yes i believe hiring it out to a professional makes lot of sense, they might probably spray it instead of painting.

It comes down to your level of liquidity and your comfort level.

HELOCs are a great way to participate in real estate because they offer inexpensive access to very liquid funds. 

If so, I have $100,000 in cash I can liquidate.

I'm not a farmer or land developer of any sort, but I'd begin with hiring someone to remove the existing ones, then go in with some Spectracide and spray like crazy.
