It looks like this particular investor preferred the low level price point and the risks that come along with it even though he was buying from a company who could offer him both types of investments on the complete opposite side of the risk spectrum.

But make that police report with the video evidence as the insurance company is going to want a copy.

We're also seeking to buy a local (Raleigh / Durham) property management company to expand that business more rapidly.

I believe they are expressing their displeasure with the fact that I have not accommodated some of their recent requests that went far beyond the scope of what is required (like insisting a licensed electrician switch out a smoke detector when we could do it ourselves) and I had to set some boundaries after years of high maintenance for them.

Would you hire a property management company?)

All this does is report their payments to the credit bureaus like how your credit cards or car loan company reports payments to the bureaus.  

The local who lives there but commutes 30-60 min to another community because they can’t find a job to support their family in their town.That same local knows that a 4plex would be great on that lot that’s been vacant for 20 years and that there are at least 4 families who could benefit greatly from that development.That local knows that Ryan’s plumbing and Katie’s electrical companies that service 75% of the town really needs a new flex space to use as a shop, storage, and parking for their business so that they aren’t working out of their garage and can hire a couple of locals to work with them at the office and in the field.Development is different in our small towns but if locals aren’t the ones doing it, and developers aren’t coming, what happens to our kids futures?

Call a different number you found online associated with the same company, etc. 

Does anyone have any experience (or know someone or a company that might) be able to demo a concrete staircase Ana turn it into a driveway and ADU ramp ?

Also, be sure to notify your insurance company that while you are still living on the property, you also have tenants.
