May,If you are going to target Maricopa I would suggest focusing on 2-4 unit multifamily rentals.

I'd talk to your bank before you stop paying and see what they suggest. 

They don't know what they're doing and likely won't do the job right, that protocol is critical for understanding how, when, and what should be done.I hope someone out there finds some value in this post!

For investing with partners and liability, I highly suggest using a DSCR loan and borrowing within an LLC.

I suggest reading this article below. https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/core-four-real-estate-team

Best to consult with an attorney as @Brian Fung suggested. 

Zillow, apartments.com, outreach to local companies that common sense suggests would have project based 1-3 month employees.

You can't ask them ahead of time, because it would be the same thing as asking them if they have a disability.I suggest reading up on the emotional support dog laws. 

I can only suggest you can't win unless you play.

Also, do you suggest we create a new bank account to manage property?
