Duplexes are my favorite because you can utilize FHA's low down payment, FHA is a lot more difficult with 3-4 units.

A trip to instruct on how to use the stove is probably best bet.

You can also explain to the seller that  the mortgage can be split notes, this gives the seller more leverage, meaning they have one mortgage but several notes secured by that mortgage, A $100,000 mortgage could have four $25,000 notes, the mortgagor can sell a note at a discount, use one as a down payment or assign one to their favorite grand son who just entered college, those payments could come in handy.

I've had to have 3 or 4 separate trips out to the property. plus had A/C out for a few days along with a restroom not operating properly.

So you favorite the ones you like, clamp your numbers and max bid, and robotically go back in and bid again, lose again, until you win.

If you have a contract with the housing authority, and they have not exercised a termination within the context of that contract, I would first speak with housing and ask if they would like to pay out the contract over the next three months or in a single lump sum at the end of this month.If that does not produce the desired result, then you may wish to sit down with your attorney to determine your options and best course of action ... perhaps a letter from the attorney or a trip to small claims court may make sense.

Hoping to take a trip out there soon.

The LLC thing trips people up.
