I work in the entertainment industry, currently as a production assistant on the TV show Bones.

There are a lot of larger multifamily deals that keep coming up in 32211 and I would entertain those deals despite the crime of the general area as it seems to affect the SFRs more than the multifamily properties.

Repairing, painting and affixing handrails/backrests to the backyard deck would make it a more entertaining space while providing a home-like feel as a family rental.

I have been reading a lot of posts and listening to the podcasts, which are very informative and entertaining.

I admit I only skimmed your post but to answer the question you pose in the title; All the banks and servicer's I have dealt with, Chase, Bank of America, IndyMac, Ocwen and others, require the property to be listed with a realtor before they will entertain a short sale.

I had a client who employs entertainers and also reimburse them for costumes and props that I do 1099's for.

Thank YOU for being here, first and foremost; for sharing your knowledge, experience and expertise and for entertaining these questions.

Then a two-family with another 5% down loan that is even nicer, with a garage and a back yard for entertaining or something along these lines.

Entertaining though😎I've always said my LLC or not decision was driven by property type. 

Even the Terminator has something to say about this.https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/schwarzenegger-defends-102-year-old-being-evicted
