@Morden WaltersI have the name of an attorney in Newington that handles closing, refinancing and evictions.

LolWe’ve just hired a property manager to handle a couple properties that has years of experience in our market area and is familiar with everything.

I don't know if I would be able to handle twice as many while working full time.

There are several schools of thought but here is how I handle this. 

The fact is you can’t make a good decision with out all of the data and she can handle either option sell or 3rd party manage. 

Again, it's your attorney that handles this. 

I was wondering if anyone has any good books they recommend on the basics of student housing or any tips and tricks on how to handle the important or not important things.

You need to handle the situation delicately as they are probably distressed and in need of help.

Two or so years down the line, the patch will start flapping in the wind again and the leak will start right back up.This is the sort of thing that if you don't have someone who's good and conscientious about small roofing repairs, and they are few and far between in this game, you're much better off handling it yourself, and if you can't handle it yourself, you're doomed to pay for the whole roof replacement anyway.

Or other suggestions for handling a loan where we are the lender?
