Nobody's going to force to purchase a whopper!  

@Wes Eaves I've had two different insurance companies force me to replace 3 breaker panels this year and a driveway.  

I tried to show it in the first 2 pics, but I'm not a great photographer :)  We decided instead of forcing our craftsman design on this street, we'd try to blend in a bit. 

Fear will force you to take calculated risks, so as to mitigate or minimize any possibility of financial loss.On the other hand, too much fear can keep you idle and on the sidelines, and that mindset must be avoided at all costs.

@Jimmy WatsonPay attention to what Jay said...you may go into a deal with more than your target in the deal, but you can do that strategically on some deals, knowing you are going to force appreciation that you can then leverage on the refi to get you down to your target.But, in this market, to get to a zero to low money down buy & hold deal, you're going to have to go off-market.  

I (or my assistant) would uploaded all the bills to be paid to the property management software, and the office manager would cut the checks and get them signed (bills), and I would actually pay the owners with EFT transfers through the PM Software we used.I started My company because the broker at Gallery of Homes was more focused on growing her sales force and had no interest in Property Management, and would not allow me to implement new online tools to faciilitate growth (she was afraid of technology).     

Good luck.I hope you understand in Georgia you can only force her to pay the rent due until you have found a replacement tenant.

What I don't know is if lenders will voluntarily agree to pay attorney and executor's statutory admin fees without getting a court order forcing same.

I have a few houses that do not have forced air. 

The worst outcome is she can't pay rent and you're forced to evict her.
