My related experience as president of the homeowners association for eight years is beneficial in regards to property maintenance and dealing with people, but not directly related to screening tenants and leasing units.What do you look for in a Resident Manager?

If you are trying to do a "traditional" wholesale method where you lock up a property and then assign it to someone else, taking either an assignment fee or the difference between the two contract prices, your local Realtors association may not think you have your client's best interest in mind.

@Chris Rusoff, I would check with your local/area bar association's website, or even call there and talk to someone.

I think that in general, the hording is not normal use of the unit and as such, any costs associated with cleaning it out should be deductible from a security deposit but marketing, despite the eviction, for a new tenant is normally an owner expense and would not expect it to be deductible from the security deposit.Oren

You could also explore the association management business which few states require a license to manage.

Currently, I am working to save for the costs associated with launching a career in real estate.  

There is no specific language in the law that says landlord must provide, heat, furnace,   The language I provided earlier which is from the MN bar association lease mimics state statute and has been interpreted to mean that a LL must provide a working heat source, it does nor require them to pay the utility cost to run the heat source.  

My hesitations are based on the fact that the house is part of a small private association that maintains the road and provides water from a shared well for about $1,000/year.

I can tell at a glance that he has made all 5 payments and if one is ever missing I will know immediately what property it is associated with.
