Hello BP, I am a PA realtor/ newer investor looking to close on a 2-3 properties by end of year. 

You need a Pennsylvania POA, not VIrginia... so ask the title company handling this for assistance — they’ll have a PA attorney prepare the right doc and they need to approve it anyway if they are insuring the deal. 

The worst thing a Seller can do is sign a PA to sell a bldg to a rookie contract flipping buyer whose written approval is needed to sign all new leases, renewals, or other material decisions, etc. 

.)- Ask the owner if they have a PA.

So I have a Pa.

The last time I had to do a domestication, the client ended up paying a fair bit in professional fees due to: (1) having to pay a PA lawyer to handle the domestication work; (2) having to pay a lawyer in the original state to handle whatever he needed to do over there to comply with that state's law; and (3) bunch of filing fees and publications on both sides.

You can rent or lease  a really nice big house in Milpitas for about $4.4k e.g.https://sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/apa/d/large-execu...If the economy really tanks you can move out your Santa Clara tenants and return there.

I am using a PA blight law to take over a property through the courts. 

We bought a nice camera and are planning on taking better pictures of the property (they are already good IMO but they could use to be better).Here's a link to our Craigslist listing if you guys have any ideas for what I could do to get this place rented out: https://washingtondc.craigslist.org/mld/apa/d/2-bdr-2-ba-penthouse/6632452497.html

Additionally, I *think* my offer was suspect because I submitted a LOI instead of a PA, and I probably came across as a newbie on the phone, so they may have wondered if I would actually close.Lessons learned.
