Nothing sits on the market for a year that isn't wildly over priced, poorly marketed and/or made difficult to show.Potential buyers have probably tried to see the place and are being denied or some sort of nonsense to make them not want to make an offer.I bet the realtor will have some interesting info to share - or if they won't say anything to you bc their agreement is with your partner kindly share with them that the houses are in your name and the listing's need canceled immediately unless they start cooperating.Have you laywerd up yet?

The standard sell it and rent it back for 4 years is probably the best bet.

If the lender contests the funds release and don't choose to release the escrow funds back to you, it can get tied up in litigation and after 3 years will be surrendered to the state by the title company.Your best bet is to go with a legitimate company that will be up front and transparent with you about the terms and costs before you are already committed.Seems like everyone is telling you the exact same thing so I really do hope you make the right decision here.

You can bet they do quality work or these huge companies would not be hiring them. 

Your best bet is find a way to reject  them for someone better. 

A cattle guard was going to be my other suggestion, but I'm betting those are pricy.

Your best bet to pricing the unit right is to look at the comps and see how fast they've been renting. 

@Andrew CarlsonSounds like she’s running a business and I bet that’s against your lease agreement.

I have also bought from a neighbor and such but unless you have some boots on the ground, your best bet would be finding a realtor you like and/or search the MLS. 

Your best bet is definitely going to be a small credit union or regional bank in that area.
