Communicating openly and proactively with your lender can also help in finding a solution that works for both parties.

My wife and I just finished your money podcast in the car on the way home from a birthday party yesterday and just wanted to let you know that you're a huge inspiration, we can't wait to chew through your books!

Anyone familiar with this area, which part is best for LTR (cash flow/appreciation), and which areas to stay away from? 

Something that makes it clear that both parties understand they've been under the same lease the entire time.

There is no secure, streamlined way to communicate with all parties.

I guess the same could happen in a hotel but what I'm getting at is things can become challenging when one party is on a vacation schedule and the other party is on the 9-5 daily grind schedule. 

If during the next 2.5 years, the owner redeems the property i get the money + interest back, but lets say they do not redeem the property. 3)  Within the last 6 -3 months of the expiration of the redemption period, I will file a petition at the circuit court for the tax deed 4)  At the same time, after filing the petition for deed, I will need to send "Notice of Expiration of period of Redemption" Take Notice to the county so they can mail it to the home owners and any interested parties informing them to redeem asap. 5) I will subtax early the following taxes as soon as they are generated by the county. 6) Inform the property owner in three ways, certified mail from the Circuit Court Clerk, being personally served by, the Sheriff’s office; and notice being published in a local newspaper. 7)If the taxes are not paid and the last date to redeem passes, the tax buyer can apply to the Circuit Court for an Order directing the County Clerk’s office to issue a tax deed to the tax buyer.

My primary goal is to find a legal partner who is responsive, reliable, and thorough, ensuring that all parties are kept in the loop and that closing can proceed smoothly without last-minute surprises or delays.I'm reaching out to this knowledgeable community for advice:Have you worked with law firms not based in the state where you were purchasing property, and if so, how was your experience?

It looks like a third party service that links you with several other services like Airbnb and VERBO and all those.

If they do agree to a Cash For Keys arrangement like this I would highly recommend working with an attorney who specializes in landlord/tenant law in Portland to draft the agreement and have all parties sign.Best of luck!
