I assume that if I go through the real estate agent course and exam, that I’ll have several advantages as a new Investor:1.

Had I known there was a tank I would have a) not purchased the property (I passed on several properties because I didn't want to deal with an oil tank) b) had the owners remove it at their expense or c) would have asked for a significantly discounted purchase price to account for the risk.

But if you have several applicants meeting your criterias just pick the one you met and felt he/she would be a good fit for your property.

@Peter BechmannThere are several of us who work with clients all over the country via electronic communication.

I own a commercial space (business condo)I used to operate a business in the space, but several years ago sold the business and leased the space back to the new business owner (about 3 years ago). 

This would be a good place to start.There are also several QIs here on Bigger Pockets. 

I would like to keep it as a rental because I have seven within two miles of it already, but worst case is I can put $5k-$8k in and flip it for $110k based on several comps from the area.My bank decided that they would rather not do another manufactured home loan currently so I am looking for other options. 

They all have different opinions, unfortunately.There have been several threads on this forum recently that discussed LLCs and asset protection in depth, including this one. 

--@Joe Papp - tenant now reveals the issue has been going on for 3-4 months. the tenant had subtenants (roommates) in the past that we knew about, but to our knowledge those subtenants moved out months ago with no issues. we have several properties where tenants have frequent overnight guests - and we had made the assumption that this person (the roommate who was locked out) was simply a frequent guest, not an actual subtenant....if that makes any sense. 

To be fair, it’s not because I’ve had several horror stories, in fact I have zero.
