This is not nay saying, urinating on or being negative, this is seasoned STR investors not wanting others to fail. 

When a customer or buyer reaches out to the bank we actually run a Condo approvals search.

However, failing to pay the tax could result in a lien against my company, complicating the approval process for a mortgage and incurring an estimated $10K in penalties. 

The only thing I won't do are repairs that require an actual plumber or electrician.As a landlord here in Binghamton, I know it's hard to find someone to respond to calls or do miscellaneous repairs in a timely manner and without breaking the bank.

There are bank foreclosures and tax auctions going on so when there are a lot of properties being auctioned it can get a little chaotic with a lot of attendees.

so what was the end result after you called the banks??

When we were using banks we'd do blanket loans to refi across three or four buildings.

bank you Rick, Steve and David!

I've crafted terms that are a win for me and for my buyer, but my intention is to hold the deed of the property until the buyers's note to me is paid in full, exactly as the banks do.
