(CRMC).These are companies that have been audited by the National Association of Residential Property Managers and have demonstrated a high standard for both procedures and customer service.Again, I believe the best way to find a good property manager is to seek a property manager out and has invested in advanced training and education and has attained designations, usually they also have years of experience.

The fall out so far is that I am losing one dental office though.

The targeted area includes mostly undeveloped or under-developed land around our local small airport as well as some more retail/commercial/office areas in a nearby more densely developed commercial district that is a mix of run-down industrial-ish buildings (building materials, feed store, Goodwill), banks/groceries/fast food, services (dental, tax, etc), small older strip malls, a few empty/torn down lots, and some new and nicer retail and low rise office buildings, including a brand new grocery being built on a recently relocated Ford dealership site, etc.

It has nothing to do with whether they care or not, it has to do with their investor guidelines or internal policies and procedures for short sales.

Now that I moved to another State, and can't go to my properties on a moment's notice, I see how easy it is to eventually lose my gains on capex if my PM doesn't stick to procedures, can't/won't go themselves to see important issues as they arise, and after they are fixed.

Inquire  what the local procedure is for abandoned property. 

Yes you are smart for finding a solution that works, just make sure you do not cross any discrimination or fair housing laws while doing that and make sure that is written down in your policy and procedure manual or it can come back on you at some point in the form of litigation.

Can someone be successful, if they're Ugly, because of dental issues?

Well Raging, the actual procedures and terms will be probably be different in your state, but in Texas its referred to as Third Party Financing (meaning you are getting a loan).

As stated above, you do indeed need to protect yourself by understanding the procedures of sale.
