@Matthew SmithWe pay for our learnings one way or another.Get a GC and learn through the process.To systematize property management get a ARM certified property manager from IREM.org follow how they do it then adopt the system as yours.Good luckPaul

Shortsale is possible but given that it takes 6-12 months to do a shortsale, the 90 day-period prior to auction is too short.John approached me about his hedge fund that can buy notes - "one offs" - meaning one note at a time versus in bulk - provided the unpaid balance is $600K and above (or a jumbo loan).The idea here is get the hedge fund to buy the note at a discount and then I can buy the note from the hedge fund.

Do not expect someone to just share the systems they have worked hard to develop over the years with someone that is going to use it to compete with them.

He bought stuff really jacked up that nobody else wanted from the bank and made great margins because his company could fix it cheap versus a regular investor.

First you have to understand how your heating system works; that may or may not be within your skill set, but that's where you start.With gas heat, there has to be some sort if ignition.

Even if it did fit, you would be ill advised to make the substitution as the toilet is designed to be a single system, even if it comes in two pieces.

It's often too easy to focus on getting new customers/renters versus retaining and thanking the current ones.

We've converted hot water systems and steam systems to hot air, we've added central air and where nat gas is unavailable we have installed electric heat pump.According to the gas industry the supply of nat gas just in PA. is over 100 years.

@Jason Stephens  @Michael Anspach @Junaid Subzwari @Mike GarofaloI sent colleague requests to you guys and the system thought I was spamming as I added you.  

Check out the city on VRBO and see what a typical property like yours rents for and how booked up they are.It would require more management, but a lot of those VRBO properties are very automated and I imagine you could put systems in place to have even fewer headaches than a regular rental if done properly.
