My amazing girlfriend has been lucky enough to take an associate pastor position at a church in Richardson, TX.

Romanllc have the house prayed over by a pastor.

You might try to find a contractor willing to give you the price they charged on a project in the past or find a PM who knows a good contractor. 

Has anyone dealt with this situation in the past or does anyone have any advise?

Is this winter slow down similar to years' past, or is this "slow down" not as slow or slower than those of years' past?

Or, if we deem necessary, if the tenant has caused problems in the past or has a history of late payments, we will then issue a non-renewal notification and begin to market the home for new applications which will then undergo our screening process. 

Which means, if a past or current tenant had lead poisoning, you would be on the hook in the lawsuit if you didn't delead in the first 90.

I did market analysis for friends/family who had mentioned selling in the past or just seemed like their house didn't work for them.  

@Mike Pastor, yes, off market properties are part of my plan, especially if they are in good location which can be turned around.Would appreciate if anyone have comments on the strategies.

I had a mentor - someone who was better at running than me, faster than me, who could push me to do better than I have done in the past or thought I could do.2.
