You have quite the resume @Rich Weese ! 

Even if you choose to turn your local stuff over to a PM, it is way easier to verify work, and fire them to resume control if needed.

We would need to move everything in the 4 bedrooms down to the main floor while this is being done and because we have dogs, it would probably be two weeks before we can move everything back and resume our normal lives.   

As you get into larger projects, it becomes less cut and dry.....and your resume (past projects) becomes more necessary on those bigger deals. 

If you would like to see the properties that I have and how I do short term rental (sort of like a resume) just message me.

Irony is the clear cut "nuclear option".

It could be a partner that lives or owns locally, or a professional 3rd party manager that is local to that region and has a good resume. 

When I return, I will contact you to resume services for you.This establishes a profession stance in their minds and should increase their loyalty to you.

Foreclose, get taxes UTD then seller finance about $40,000 @ 7% for 15 years yields $360/mo with $5,000 downBest case scenario, the current owner resumes payments around $600/mo after a refi and lump sum for arrears and those taxes! 

I’m headed to BK court next week to petition the court to lift the automatic stay, thereby permitting me to resume/conclude foreclosure on a tax lien certificate in Maryland.The property is an investment for the owner, not a principal residence.It is a commercial brick shell & lot that is not presently producing income.
