I do not think that's a bad idea at all.

I went ahead and pay the retainer fee to have anna as my retainer. so let see how this plays out  Nice, all the best.

Regarding auctions, if you don't win the bid do you get all your money back?

We've also done all the maintenance and repairs all these years, we put new linoleum in the kitchen, painted the interior, built a new fence/gate, stained all cabinets, much more all without reimbursement as the owner is a tightwad and had never wanted to pay for upgrades.

Just hoping it will all work out.

If I were you and could do a refinance and get all or most of my investment out of the property, I would hold on and wait for the market to come back next year.You can get up to 80% LTV on a DSCR Refinance.I assume you are using a Property Manager, I would take a little more control of my future tenants and call their previous landlord to see if they made any repairs to the property while they were there, how many time they were late on their rent, etc. 

All tenants claim to be lawyers bla bla bla!

Hi all!

Hey all,Walking a property with an owner who has a 3br/1ba 1025sqft. property around the corner from my house.

If you have more than 25% down and you know that you can use the rest of the money you have to help you fix the property or invest it in another asset where the money will continue to grow then by all means go for it.
