Depends on specific situation and tenant background.Had a tenant that is good as gold.Tenant had a brother in the Army that was killed in action in Afghanistan.Our tenant was his beneficiary.She collected a sizeable chunk of change, and wanted to prepay a year in advance.

You should not advise someone on the internet to engage in activities that will directly lead to a possible lawsuit. 

I have my real estate license but it is currently inactive however, I have connections and I will probably be activating it early next year and aligning with Black Bear Rentals in Asheville and my desire is to get into Property Mgmt specifically.  

Tell her it's a once in a lifetime chance to see a world-class beard in action :D

Another option is take an early distribution; you won't get hit with the penalty because of the CARES act and use those funds as your emergency and then invest the rest in active REI so you can grow it. 

Erik,Here are some things to lookout for from an Insurance perspective:1.Any in-ground tanks (active or inactive)2.Any Knob & Tube or Aluminum Wiring3.If built before 1978, does the building have Lead Safe certifications4.Any wood stoves or secondary heating units.

Not stating to assist/help people in actions, but PROMOTING it as "THE" REI market. 2nd part; What is OH's market FUNDAMENTALS?   

I wouldn’t consider this delay in action.

Or getting foreclosed by someone else=more inaction?

A big part of doing this business is seeing the homes in action.
