The wholetail is a smart play, but you should be cleaning the place thoroughly and doing no repairs and then presenting an honest proforma with rents and expenses estimated so investors have a PDF to look through.

So I know that I have cash to repay the gap within 12 months.

I am seeking to obtain a line of credit for these so I can tap into that dead equity.

Looking at buying a house that had maybe 50 cats in it so it reeks of cat urine. 

I wouldn't call West Milford a classic hold market so you want to consider that.

You might have done this already but maybe calling some agents there or finding property management companies in that area? 

Thanks for the feedback, tree service in the area is a bit pricey so in relation to the original post should I only focus on the unit or until focusing on the property as a whole?

It's often cheaper, more space, and more freedom for the students, so once they realize that in the dorms freshmen year it's a no-brainer.

So rent to a normal instead of s8

I am a Daytona/ormond/Volusia investor so put me on your list!
