In my opinion, it is something you should sit down with an attorney who provides entity protection, so you can map out what you're trying to achieve.

As a fellow Northerner, I tend to buy in the Southern half of the US for 2 reasons:1) you get much higher year-round occupancy rates in the South & it’s simply tough to earn a good ROI in the North if your place sits vacant for a big chunk of the year2) Culturally, the Southern half of the US seems to be a lot more accepting of STRs regulation-wise.

Having a rental property sit unsold for over six months is what I would call catastrophic, particularly if it's vacant!

I had to call several dozen times to learn what was happening behind the scenes, only to discover that the "experienced property managers" at Latchel had been sitting on their hands.

My wife and I approached him to discuss buying it from him since it is simply sitting.

I'm just wanting to know about what MOST people probably have no clue about and hoping I can get someone who does to answer about is it legal for a lender to change a payoff KNOWING that there was no extra fees, interest etc that was actually owed for a higher amount with the purpose of then sending money they received IN ERROR to then pay their borrower back the extra money on the side.Again, long story short, my well over 2M was sitting in escrow with a closing attorney. 

I then attended a couple of hearings when I had the time from my day job.BTW: Attending a hearing meant I had to sit there for seeral hours, listening to several other cases, before my case was heard.

My plumber went and discovered tush wipes sitting ON the toilet tank while trying to test the toilet.

I am having my first sit down with someone who is experienced in real estate financing and hoping to make my first purchase within a year.

You could even add an island or bump out peninsula for more sitting and storage.
