Hi I am seeking volunteer opportunities.

If ONE unit is vacant and both units are equal in rooms/bathroom composition, then the new owner will need to move into the vacant unit and then the owner can either evict to take the occupied property completely off the rental market (5 years off the rental market), evict to take back the occupied unit for personal use like moving in immediate family (2  years off the rental market), or they can evict given the tenant is a nuisance or conducting illegal activity (this is a harder method to evict since you have to provide evidence and have a case but if they're selling drugs and you have video footage or something, then make your moves) and there are a few other reasons for at-fault evictions. 

So, is it safe to assume that you are forced to seek alternative financing? 

How active have you been since you found it?

Greg:    First, do not get discouraged by anyone, someone else is doing it so you can, not going to be easy.If not done already I suggest to look into this:Enforce that PM uses a great website for rental screening, ones with a background check and choose the best tenants possible.Review you leases to close any pitfalls and enforce the lease to the T.Keep the units in good shape and keep extra cash reserves ( fixing + trip expenses )Tiger than normal lookup on the PM ( have second PM line up ), vacancies, unit showing costs, repairs, fees, etc,  require a once a week normal operations report and a once a month full operations report.Family, friend on virtual assistant that regularly drive by the property and reports to you, or if cash flow allows and deem beneficial you can install security cameras and remote view activity on the property, nowadays there are lots of options.Check if feasible to get a home warranty plan for the units so some pain issues are self-managed by the tenant via a phone call to the warranting companyIn which city/state is the property? 

For 'suspended passive activity loss', is this the same as "unallowed loss' on my federal tax return?
