Friends of mine do really well with cabins in the woods there, and stay pretty booked in the winter (for low rates of course), but they've had the homes listed for years.

I think you crossed 2 of the more common real estate tax benifits.Section 121: Primary Residence Capital Gains Tax Exclusion What it is: Excludes up to $250,000 ($500,000 if married) of capital gains when selling your primary home. 

But also realize the seller will want (most likely) some interest as well.

You can generally place a voucher tenant in any property.In order to place a section 8 tenant you will have to pass an initial inspection as well as an annual inspection where they tend to be more strict and have you fix things that you may not have addressed for a market tenant.

I have done land subdivision and develpment, and have owned multi-family, as well as commercial property. 

Considering they are brand new, with a finish out well above and beyond the rest of the neighborhood I don't anticipate "nobody else wanting them" Thanks for your sarcasm, though

@Krishna SurendraRecommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

With careful planning, this approach can work well for you! 

Or if you have questions that aren't market specific I would be happy to help with that as well. 

Contacting the trustee to give a message to the lender (The foreclosing entity) is the only thing they are going to do but, ultimately, that's a waste of time as well.
