Actively licensed properties can transfer to the new owners but until about 100 sales or non renewals of currently licensed properties occurs, no non commercially zoned or non active rentals can obtain a new permit.

But you've already paid a truck load of taxes by getting so much for the option.It is possible to sell the property without the deed transferring. 

The prospects for appreciation are limited (probably below the inflation rate), your tenant pool sucks to manage from out of state, your risk is high because you don't know what the heck you're doing - none of us did on the first go; that's not personal - and your flippant verbiage is treating this more like trading stocks than buying property. 

Location, property condition and amenities can cause a wide range of rental rates for similar layouts (2 bed 2 bath for example).

The reason I am trying to get these prices is because I hear the going rate from contractors for a high end retail flip right now for a whole kitchen is about $5,000 to $6,000.

You get a separate (small) bill from Guardian for their service, but the cost is incorporated into the billing rate that Guardian charges the tenants.

Your gang of thieves (and it would take a gang) might have better odds  of success knocking off armored cars at high noon or kidnapping wealthy children for ransom (a crime with a near-zero success rate in the developed world today).Get the case number, contact the USPIS independently, see if this rent heist story isn't really a snow job. 

I know some experts on here expect a correction at some point, but with rental rates being near all-time highs, I think this makes the midwest extremely viable right now.Also, if you want to thing long, long term, check out some articles about climate refugee cities in the midwest and how they think they will be major factors as climate change gets worse and people start to leave areas negatively affected by climate change for a more stable climate.Truth!!

This home having a pool is huge for summer rentals and rates, also on a privacy fenced 1/2 acre.

Long story short, we have been renting it out and have been told that we would be safer if it were in an LLC but we do not want to refi and lose the rate we are at.
