This is a fine example of where to research out of state investments as the housing prices to purchase are still reasonable and low (not like California where I am and entry level house SFR is a million dollars). 

No real talent, no skills, no friends that are not being bought.

Assuming you don't have a mortgage that requires a certain level of insurance, you can get a stop-loss policy covering all the properties. 

You put a 3.5% down payment on a house that goes up 7% in 12 months you just made a 200% return that didn't take any large amount of skill or time.

Your real estate agent will help determine what level of staging will make the most impact on your house and market.They can help you decide if professional staging is worth the investment, or if you can knock it out with their advice alone.

They're the ones working with those agencies on a regular basis and have the best referrals.As far as recovering the debt, try leveling with the tenant as much as possible so they grasp the seriousness of being sent to collections.

Keep in mind that while there is an exemption to the Fair Housing Act.....most states that have a state level Fair housing law do not typically provide the same exemptions as the national law.

Since you're analytic savvy, run some high level amortization schedule scenarios to see how much equity you gain through annual principal payments.

Negotiating seller concessions, networking with local investors, and learning property management skills have been key to finding deals with strong long-term potential.Good luck!
