I'm living in one unit while renovating it, I work out of town as an IBEW lineman which has made it difficult to "knock out" the reno.  

I don't have any experience with such things, however, if I was a tenant and then the new landlord wanted a security deposit from me, I would probably find it difficult to get you the money.First, I would screen the tenants yourself.  

Seeding at this point would be difficult because it uses more water and takes time.

Reason I ask is It will be very difficult to find a realtor to get you a rental deal in northern Virginia.

It is so difficult to get in touch with LAs.

I must say if I didn't get my license first I would've had a difficult time following podcast, terminology, etc.

Short sales are a LONG process if the realtor is already being difficult you may want to continue looking.

If it is an all cash offer it will be much more difficult. 

Max 75% LTV and usually lower.Unless you´re looking at some sort of pooled investment fund or property bond (not necessarily suitable for first timers), then it will be difficult to get started with $40k.

I wonder how difficult it is for a winner from a junior auction that now holds a trustee's deed to establish contact with the lender prior to the foreclosure of the senior lien?
