.)- staging, marketing for sale- listing (diy or hire out, resources, etc...)- and everything else in between+ these are all free of course+ my promise that I won’t sell anything during the process :) so you’re perfectly safe with me!!!

Hello,I'm an investor from Israel, looking for investment opportunities.I'll be in New York and Austin in the begging on December and would like to meet brokers\home owners that might have what im looking for.I'm interested in single family or condos, under 120,000 USD, turnkey investments for cash flow.im looking for at least 8% after expenses per year so please don't contact me if you offer less.if you have interesting properties that match my criteria, i'd love to hear about it,and we might arrange a meeting while I'm in the US.ThanksGil Boral

You can make any arrangement that you want.

Title company can arrange mobile notary service for the seller to sign the closing packet out of state in the seller’s local area.

@Marc Dube, how does the bank determine the amount of a home equity line at this stage?

I don't always agree with paying off properties I'd rather keep a little leverage and have more properties but everyone is in a different stage of life/investing so you do what is best for you in your situation. 

To set the stage, I am currently growing my rental portfolio with the goal of getting 3 additional properties by the end of 2018.

I would expect it to read that when a tenant requests a repair, they are obligated to provide access.If that is the case, then I would send the tenant a polite, registered letter reminding him he is in breach of his obligations as tenant and informing him that if the behaviour continues you will have no alternative but to terminate the tenancy.Things should have not been allowed to get this stage and this tenant is likely beyond training.  

My husband (whose my partner) calls his two cousins and makes his way down to Philly...2 hours later he’s on FaceTime with me and there’s a family of 3 with a babyboy about 4 years old living in our flip, sleeping on the furniture that’s being used for staging, they moved in yesterday!!!!

You should feel relieved that he is going at this stage and that you have two months rent to cover your time to find a good replacement tenant.I would continue to demand the additional months rent according to the legal contract and threaten to take him to court to collect.
