Tapping equity in your rentals is possible.I say “had”-because we paid off the balance in December last year, and it renews in May (annual credit line), so I’m not sure if the future will provide the same benefits as the past, in the new era of bank failures and drying liquidity.Worse case scenario is to build equity and do a cash out refi after the fed eventually pivots-I offer no estimate on that timing.

So I will help you, if you are willing to listen to me.Code violations do not target motivated sellers... nor does tall grass, boarded up windows, preforeclosures, tax liens, inherited houses, garage sales, job losess..

The title co are "spoon fed" all these deals, so they have NO reason to be good or competant at their jobs. 

Typically, no one cares that the gov and the advantages it "redistributes,'' the $$$$$$$$$$$ wasted, and the MANY programs that spoon-fed ppl in the hope that they learn how to feed themselves ARE MASSIVELY FAILING in most blue cities. 

Looks like it has been up for sale for quite some time, judging how the grass has not been cut in a while.

That could be as simple as getting grass to grow; on the steeper parts of the hill at my house a product like in this link was used to help get grass to grow and kept soil from washing away until grass became established:https://www.homedepot.com/p/8-ft-x-112-5-ft-Polypr...If grass isn't an option, then look into other ground covers, like ivy perhaps; hard for me to recommend anything because you are in a different growing zone north of me, so plantings that are suitable to that specific locale should be given consideration.

You can close the transaction remotely via a Fed-Ex package or other overnight carrier, or perhaps a mobile notary or equivalent (maybe a bank where you reside?)

Currently I am a fed ex worker and of course I don't like it.
