The clear and obvious answer would be to instantly pay the back taxes and offer a small lump sum for them to move with and just lowball in whatever structure works for the both of you weather that is a better sale price or a greater monthly payment to them and just find your middle ground that works out for you both.

It’s incredible to see how far you’ve come since starting here 10 years ago—200 houses and 60 in one year is no small feat!

if you qualify, using the VA for a small multi opens up more opportunities as an asset vs investing in SFR.  

I'm a veteran also and co-host a small monthly networking meetup exclusively for veterans. 

Hi Blake, My company manages properties for others in New London (and the surrounding area), specifically single-family and small to mid-sized multifamily properties.

EBRHA has an RAP owners representation service for small mom and pop landlords that looks pretty good: https://www.ebrha.com/rap-owner-assistance

But sometimes a small bank might offer them.
