Why not involve them from the beginning?

I have no plans on getting involved on the sales side. 

I have some negotiation tactics under my belt but I am hoping to learn about some tactics involving talking to land owners about selling their land or even thinking about selling their land.  

Since I am an out of state investor do you know if they will handle all of the stuff involved?

Seems to me that there are issues with the car that involve some thought since one of the units is on top of the garage.2) anything else to consider?

I am assuming the house is not in a great neighborhood.However, if he is not in a rush, I bet you can find a buyer in 150-185 range because it is still a cheap investment for out of state investors.Your main problem, you will need a cash buyer.

@A Xiong I bet not many people have tapped into AK which probably makes it a really good place to mail.

But before reaching to everyone involved I would make sure the charges actually relate to a third party's usage rather than your connection, account establishment fees, etc.

I did find one bank that would refinance to a 15-year loan at a good rate, but that would involve throwing a lot of cash into principal to get the payment down to the point it keeps cashflowing strongly.I've only ever bought two places, this rental and the one I'm in now, but I had considered buying a 3rd place in DC before my next overseas stint. 

I'm currently involved in one right now.
