Second since I am a property owner myself and also own a PM company I try to look at it from different angles.If the tenant wants things fixed it many times means that they plan to stay in the property and since they are picky they tend to take care of the home more.

Has the city issued the owner a citation that the unit needs to be decommissioned?

As far as financing, I have considered  1) an FHA loan with a cosigner, and 2) going off market and approaching many owners about potentially seller financing.Any and all feedback, advice, and info on potential pitfalls would be appreciated!

Are there no actual owners on BP? 

There are syndication/crowdfunding funds currently being launched now which intend to take over deals from syndicators/operators (where those same owners would otherwise have to turn the keys over to the bank).Generally the ones in trouble are those that structured too aggressively (high debt, floating rate, etc).

For finding off-market properties, PropertyRadar has been a lifesaver for me.On social media, I’ve had success connecting with property owners and fellow investors through Facebook groups and LinkedIn.

On the surface, it appears to be a straightforward role, but it becomes far more challenging when faced with issues like non-paying tenants requiring eviction or broken systems that haven't been properly followed.As a self-managing property owner, it is absolutely doable—but success depends on treating it like a business.

But I found an owner of a seafood company that had money but didn’t have time and I had time but didn’t have money.

To fund additional investments, consider side income, creative financing or creating a timeline with your co-owner for converting property B into a rental to generate cash flow.

Except that the owner cannot buy the property at auction!
