Anyone have suggestions or encountered this problem??

Since I have not been able to get ahold of him, and he has not been at the house In the past month, how would you suggest that I proceed?

No one would suggest to use their own credit or to take out a loan to buy.  

That's a good suggestion.

But, for the best potential tenant pool, I would suggest looking to invest in neighborhoods in close proximity to hospitals, colleges, local markets, easy commute, provide sense of safety etc.

Thank you for the suggestion.  

my main goal is to just get the roof in before weather gets bad.is there anything I can do aside from a 3k escrow holdback suggested by my agent to prevent getting burned?  

If you're out of state, I would suggest finding a different PM to help out.

That simple. 

Hi Adriana, i'd suggest keeping the property.
