This is good for a lot of reasons… first, I believe that it’s impossible to determine the condition of the unit when it is still full of stuff.  

How did you do it and balance home life, and was a property management company a good solution? 

That is what wakes them up and it can cost $500 to $5,000, so thats why its good to have a reserve.Then we attempt to get them repaying or settle for a lump sum and the debt is out of their life, otherwise we foreclose.

Property is in good physical condition but there have been some expensive repairs and all the utilities seem high to me.

if that's  the one just west of I-95, north side of MLK, I see them go for 15-25k at tax deed sales, don't know the condition of course.  

But it seems harsh to threaten eviction for a long time tenant who has not caused any other issues otherwise, or is it?

From a short inspection, I saw no vacant units in current marketable condition, but one was getting new carpet and paint during our visit.

It's hard enough to hold a job and take care of all the things in life but trying to manage a rental long distance with experience is hard enough without adding a lack of experience to it.

Builder is  threatening that he would sell the house to someone else as he is not happy with the loan officer!!

These are indeed some rough market conditions and I, like many, feel that somethings gotta give and it could all come tumbling down very soon.
