Keep in mind that condos are typically a more affordable housing option, resulting in more long-term residents.

But regardless of how promising a market may be, it's important that you have a way to source good deals, whether that be through a wholesaler, agent, etc.  

One option rather than doing that could be Subject To - in which you buy the house for $184K subject to the existing mortgage.

I would add a step, that although is optional, is often used: Form an LLC, specifically for the use of IRA funds.

You are disputing a condo agreement we do not have and we know nothing of your paint and vent beyond what you say.Regarding amending the lease, it can be a simple document you and your tenant sign stating that you are amending the term of the lease to be 2 years, and the tenant has an option to terminate the lease at 1 year.Regarding the bathroom, if it has a tub or shower and no other ventilation, I would go with the vent fan as the root cause.

I know of a very cheap option so let me know if you want the contact.

They actually tell criminals the property is vacant.Alarms only work if the police show up quickly, otherwise the thieves are already gone.Appears you have properties in Class C/D areas, there are several other options that we use to minimize breakins & squatters.

Letting them know you’re casting a wide net can motivate them to find stronger deals to stand out among your options.

Most I know fully disclose what they’re doing, the risks to the homeowner as well as the benefits, and will actually tell the homeowner id\f they think the homeowner has a better option.  

Assess market trends, financing costs, and ROI for each option.
