I bring sales experience from selling RVs and have always been interested in real estate investing as a way to generate income and eventually achieve time and financial freedom. 

A few that sell and manage, or know management companies.  

Anyone want to sell me their contract from this course?

If you are going to sell then you must understand the tax implications. 

@Zachariah Prevost You stated that when a bank goes to sell the home loan to Fannie/Freddie or any other willing buyer for that matter, that they are stripping away the Mortgage/DOT from the note.

The first thing here would be the regulations and laws governing acquiring properties, managing properties and selling properties.

Assuming your property is in Utah (like your profile indicates), here's the state law from a basic internet search:In Utah, a tenant who abandons a rental property without notice is liable for the lesser of the following: The rent remaining on the leaseThe rent plus the difference between the fair rental value and the agreed-upon rentThe cost to restore the property to its original conditionThe landlord can also remove the tenant's belongings and sell them if the tenant doesn't claim them within a reasonable time.

You can sell these things in an up market and make an absolute killing.

Their customer service department is very responsive.When selling a service as taking care of everything and handling the complete process, this includes all forms, liabilities and considerations for that particular need.

It's called a payoff statementif it's a big lender you will not buy the loan as it will take forever, you are better just paying it off. you then can foreclose based on the total balance owed to you which is both loans and any accrued interest. regarding fixing property or selling as is, that really depends and needs to be evaluated on a case by case basis
