@Paul HenningREITs or American Homeowner Preservation (AHP) fund could be a short term option to get 6% - 10% ‘annualized’ returns.

Investing with sponsors who have a proven track record and who prioritize capital preservation helps ensure that they will protect your investments and do what they say they’re going to do.Changing market and economic conditions are always a risk.

Neither the other co-owners, nor the sponsor, nor the manager may advance funds to a co-owner to meet expenses associated with the co-ownership interest unless the advance is recourse to the co-owner (and, where the co-owner is a disregarded entity, the owner of the co-owner) and is not for a period exceeding 31 days.The co-owners must share in any indebtedness secured by a blanket lien in proportion to their undivided interests.Distinguishing a Partnership From Co-Owners of Leased PropertyIn the case of property to be purchased by more than one equity investor and subjected to a long-term triple net lease, it may be possible for each equity investor to structure its participation as a purchase and lease of an undivided interest in the property, separate from the other equity investor's transaction, so as to preserve arguments that the equity investors are mere co-owners.

Yes, some  pay for, property preservation services, others are not tended to.

The goal is to preserve the value of your property, as the owner you still own either the building or land that was developed and the HOA is responsible for maintaining that. 

Neither here, nor there, but localities nationwide are making rules that attempt to preserve home ownership by residents-- which ultimately hurts investors.

Its this little pocket tucked away by a nature preserve.

For example, many of our muti-family clients are converting on-site offices and pool houses rather than garages to preserve parking spaces.

If you want to preserve your conventional conforming loans for other transactions, I would suggest (if you've not already) forming an LLC, transferring ownership to the LLC, sign for the new commercial blanket mortgage as a member of the LLC. 

They are the key - since you are overseas you may want to find one who can handle a lot of the tasks like collateral storage as wellOther team members are an attorney, preservation company, reo asset company in case it ever went delinquent.I run my business from my home and have ran it from overseas when on vacationsOnly obstacle really is the time zones
