I’m the owner of a newer General Contracting company serving the area, we started operating in September last year.

A company by the name of “Saluda Grade” contacted me explaining they took over their debts however, they are not buying back the property as we originally agreed with STOA. 

If you're unsure about the legalities or the best approach, consulting with a property management company familiar with local laws or a real estate attorney could be invaluable.Best of luck with your new property and navigating this transition smoothly!

I hire a property management company to take care of all the management side of our properties.

Make sure it goes on their credit report.
