I'm curious as to how the initial draft will look that is supposed to be forwarded to me tomorrow and if it will address all the above concerns.While this has the potential to be a really good deal, it looks like it also has the potential to turn into a huge can of worms.A few potential downsides:Any major 'maintenance' issue would be the tenants responsibility, that could be huge.Anything that clouds the title would be an issue.Seems like there would be nothing keeping the siblings from borrowing against property.The only potential upside:Parent passes and a clean sale occurs.That's the only good outcome - anything less could be a major mess.Any insight from anyone that may have knowledge of a deal such as this would be greatly appreciated.

So, caution wrong doers and those who think of trying, there are others like myself out there (Realtors are really scam chasers in this area) so your chances of getting caught are getting better.....I can just be ornery sometimes, LOL

Of course, for a random person picked out of the cloud of humanity, any of these quoted entities may be difficult to identify.If you *do* know who the executor of the deceased's estate is, you can try to negotiate with them, but ultimately you might be stuck waiting for quite a while for some court to make a decision.

I was always taught to never let your emotions cloud your judgement on a deal either, know when to walk away. 

Hi Adrienne, My husband and I are in the same boat of feeling disenchanted with what we are paying for in a management company.My hope is to self manage our next property and I have started brainstorming what that would look like if our next property is afar .Here are the main hurdles & potential solutions I have brainstormed:Listing: This is an area I feel confident could be achievable from afar since we keep several images of our long distance property in the cloud. 

There are so many differing state laws that even if you end up with the property from a lien, the title could be clouded for several more years.

Also, titles for mobile homes are easily clouded in Texas, and tax liens could be placed on a home even if the home is current on taxes under the half payment option of property tax code. 

She sounds like the type if it wasn't the pot she'd have something else to annoy everyone about.I get tenants all the time leave it on the table, cloud of smoke. 

We adopt a zero tolerance policy and chase rents vigorously as needed.  

I've been trying to get by with Highrise (CRM) with MailChimp (email)  and Call Loop (voice and text) integrations. The issue is that Call loop will not integrate with Highrise and therefore all my text and voice camp...
