In May of this year, I reached out to a property management company I had worked with in the past to inform them that I had a property becoming available and to request a Lease Option Only service (essentially where they find a tenant and I self-manage from there).

Thanks The handwritten/sharpie style is the best option 

Therefore my only way is to apply to the municipality for an update, I want to explore this option but I have no idea where to start..?

@Mohammed MilordSorry to be bearer of bad news but near zeroMaybe get a seller to seller finance but getting third party funding with no money typically does not occur

A DSCR loan could be a great option from initial glance.

Cash flow-oriented investors would do well in this market, since Montgomery’s rent-to-price ratios are very favorable—for instance, we’re seeing $150,000 properties in B/B+ neighborhoods fetch monthly gross rents of $1,200 to $1,300.By the way, if you’re looking for financing, a debt service coverage ratio (DSCR) loan could be a good option for you since you’re an international investor.

If you're working with section 8, you're able to cash flow even better than normal LTRs because you can typically charge higher the standard market rents.

So I really need the best option

This person told me they were doing a lease option with the owner to gain ownership from paying the back taxes.

Would this be an option in this situation?
