As long as you monitor your expenses and keep a positive attitude to keep plugging away, that is key. 

My solution to finding a rental property up-to-date neutral is to copy the people whose business is to know what sells.  

It has support posts, but the structure is only bolted on to the brick of the building, whereas, a good long term solution would be to drill through the brick, hit a stud, and attach the structure to the stud.

I am looking to retain and would prefer a long term solution not hard money or short term. 

.- Hard money will do the loan but with rates at above 8% with sizeable origination fees and significant pre-payment penalties.I was hoping some of you seasoned folks could help me figure out some creative financing solutions for this little conundrum. :)

I have a land parcel in the area of Richmond , VA , which i bought in a tax sale for a good price , it is 6.4 acres lot zoned residential in a great location surrounded by built houses also but needs and easement, i did the research for it how it gets solved , and the most convenient solution for it is that There is another 0.5 an acre adjacent to it , was already part of it and got separated by the old owner , which gives it an easement easily and that makes the whole lot easy to have other utilities based on the county opinion after talking to them and discussing that option , that parcel also past due on taxes , owner dead and heirs do not care about it and it is in the process of going to auction GOD knows when , but i assigned that case to a lawyer who had that case for almost 5 months and did not do anything to it after agreeing on filling for an easement by right through that adjacent parcel He did not seem to been working at all and i need to move the case to somebody else from the area who would start working on and has passion to do it ?

@Scott SwennesAs an agent you're probably well versed in mortgage financing options and finding solutions for your clients financing needs.

Maybe you find a distressed homeowner in need of a solution, or that property that is paid off, vacant, inherited, and someone just doesn't want to deal with it, and you're able to get them on board and accept your offer. 

Please have the background check, credit check and check his employment to make sure how stable his job is.By then, you will get the full picture and let those guys know upfront that you are planning on inspecting the property for pot smell every month or quarter - if they are still doing drugs they may not lease and if they they lease after your warning about monthly inspections, 99% of the times they must be clean.This is what I would do if I am in this situation and not sure if this is best solution or not though!!!

But e/Offer a solution to their problem.
