I will maintain my current career for a few more years get things rolling but I see a 3 year window till im investing full time.

One has to rely on a solid PM company to take care of the property, keep it maintained, and keep it occupied.

^Think of it more like I don't want to publicly have my name on said business.But to bring the question down to brass tacks (because it's a pretty cut + dry question):  if someone is holding property in a foreign  shell corporation, how does that person manage the administration of said corporation while maintaining anonymity?

For me, it's all about establishing and maintaining a good landlord-tenant relationship and that's easier to do without another person/company in-between.

If you are gifted the property, you maintain the giftor's basis.

I always let them know that I have the properties that are available on the site and if they know of anyone else that's looking, to have them give me a call.I don't spend money on the site because I maintain the pages myself using Notepad.

You will love maintaining that steady cash flow, as long as you select the right tenants (and avoid evictions / tenant issues).

In this case, what I see is a tenant doing what he/she needs to do (and doing what I still maintain the OP should have known they needed to do at the time) and actually making some effort to mitigate the landlord's damages.  

These contracts, from both sides of the river, have a history of standing up well in court.We want the legal documents that we use to not only stand up well in court if need be, but more importantly to provide a framework of clear understanding between ourselves and the tenants we serve.... an agreement that can actually be used effectively by all parties to create and maintain a successful tenancy.

The heater was off while we were away, but we have had the heater off for few days before while the windows were closed and the temp was maintained fairly well inside.
