I'm born and raised in Houston and now work with a full service long-term rental management managing over 300 doors - all SF or MU (up to 4 unit).

Happy to be of service.

However, there is no way to do so without risk.The Internal Revenue Services issues three (3) Private Letter Rulings (PLRs) that allowed the taxpayers to do just this.

I'm a full time agent and have clients that request cleaning services oftenSent you a message 

The only advatange of Private/Hard Money Funding is less paper to non paper work or a Non Tradition Lending programs available like DSCR (debt service coverage ratio) or Bank Statement.

Let me just lead with EXCELLENT customer service.

Her RE Office put together a "Service Referral List".   

Also go through a servicing company for payments to the seller, escrow can probably help you out with a recommendation for that. 

Connect with lenders and brokers, see what rates are out there, underwrite the deal and see if it makes sense after debt service. 

You'd think 60 years would have cleansed all that but it hasn't.You might target social service and local agencies since this property was in the past a half way house or similar and was only converted to market housing to make the sale to you.
