If you want to do some flips or BRRRRs then you could consider taking out a Line of Credit against the three properties so you can use the cash with interest only payments for a short term project and then pay it back and then use it again (Lines of Credit are revolving - meaning you get to keep using the money).

Basically, I was lied to but of course this all happened over a phone call. 

This is an important consideration in most LL decisions, LTR or STR.

If someone else has use that vendor, that certainly helps with who we should use. 

This would be a flat fee payment for the use of their license for permitting SFH.

welcome @Cam Caraher and congrats on joining BP, this place is the start for many, sure was for me longer ago than I care to admit.I'm not personally in your market, although was born in dorchester and grew up in NH, but this is a great place to meet locals.If you have not already a great starting point is the Meetups posted here, just search for your area and see if any meetups are happening. 

If it is deeded separately, maybe you can fix that, sell it and then use those proceeds to pay off something to owner #1. 

When I got started I had a carlton  sheets video who used to come on late nights with his informercial and my best friend who purchased a property 5 months before I did😂.

"Evictthemforme.com" is who I used. 

Since I have done both of these things wrong and right in my past, I can tell you keeping the client happy to a certain extent is a lot more cheaperWe have found that setting the proper expectations right up front of what we will and will not do seems to help solve going down this never ending rabbit trail sometimes.
