Many people waste years, in no thousands of dollars, before coming to this realization.There is still a roll for you to play, even if you're not "passionate about real estate".Think of it like a live professional sporting event...There are players on the field, fans in the stands and vendors (usually selling fan gear) inside and outside the stadium or arena.Everyone has a part to play, and when it goes well, everyone has a great time.The folks on the field are the ones who should be on the field.

Am interested in foreclosures especially, but ones with minimal turnaround time to occupancy (paint, carpet, maybe patching walls and some appliances).

Then the attorney says, well, he has caused you to incur a financial loss by devising this off the wall financing arrangement that is not common practice around here, we'll sue him for damages!

Some of the homes have been updated in the 70's, we're talking baseboard heaters, wall heaters, 2 prong outlets.

I am new to this so any information would be greatly appreciated.You are wasting your time trying to talk to the bank.

Currently it is setup as a one wall kitchen, but with a wall gone between the living room and kitchen there needs to be some updating.

But since you want to pull the money out ASAP, make sure when you're calling to ask if they have any sort of seasoning requirement so you don't waste your time applying for a loan that they can't even do. 

This would not be a smart move on your part and may prove to be a waste of time (best case) or worse.Let it be and worry about it after she moves out. 

It helped a great deal with the market recovery as these Wall Street funds provided a role that the secondary loan servicing market was unable to perform for a few years.For the primary markets like, L.A., Las Vegas, Orlando, Tampa, Miami, Atlanta, Dallas, Houston, Phoenix, Boston these hedge funds sped up the recovery at a rapid rate.

Is there anything unusual that stands out (stain on carpet, torn lino in kitchen, scuff marks on walls or doors, etc.)Personally, I think that your property manager is probably wearing too many hats and falling behind on communication because of the workload.
