If the property can support the debt easily I would go that route.  5 year balloons sneak up on you quicker than you think.

one of the biggest advantages is that it is way less expensive to sell the LLC then going the whole realtor route when unloading properties

That is definitely a book I do need to get my hands on one.Is a general contractor the best route to go for this?

I believe she'll try the non team route as immediate income is not the goal at the moment.

I guess if I wanted to get the most out of a sale and I did not care about my end buyer making some money also, I would go the auction route too.Also, arv 80k but rent is $1000. sounds kinda hard to believe that the rent is that much higher than it would cost to own.

@Michaela G  I am usually leaving downtown for the 5:30 meeting which takes about 45 minutes to an hour following the 75N, Cumberland, Acker Mills route.

I am not interested in the traditional residential route per se, although I would like to work with close family and friends when needed.  

I'll mention two things: Learn everything you can about being a great landlord and productive property manager should you choose to go the route of self-management.

Maybe just consulting with a real estate attorney would be the best route if you chose to proceed? 

But, not many want to go this route.  4) Provide me One Point of Contact!
