@William Howley You will find the best pricing if you can tie the rental to your personal lines policy. 

If you play the 30-60 day tie it up and market the contract and want to escape using BS lies (politely called weasel clauses) your tactics will mirror many of those in the business. 

I've read quite a few posts about owner occupants being able to qualify for unique perks mortgages in Detroit, so that's another low risk option you have to liquidate the asset and not have future ties to it.3) land contract it to the tenant.

C class properties if you look at historical data points really don't move in value much... the only way they go down in value is failed landlord syndrome and the house is trashed then it gets tied up by a wholesaler who sells to a rehabber who sells to a end user..

The chains that kept my truck tied to the 15,000 pound trailer down the long hill were amazingly strong, and never broke. 

I just bought a brand new pair of Sketcher's Sport Shoes and I bought them at the Skechers Factory Outlet. 

In 6 years I have contributed the following:  -Lived in the property for the first year to get owner occupied loan (which we didnt get anyway)- Loan is in both names personally (credit tied up)-55k out of pocket- Time spent dealing with contractors for the 9 month rehab, etc., tenants, lawyers, zoning, license and inspections, etc.  

Please keep up to date on the progress if you can, as i will be following since i will soon be in your shoes as well!  

He would pay the homeowners to vacate and then lease the property to a tenant and collect about 2 years of rent while he applied his knowledge of the court system to tie up the foreclosure.  

Part of the reason I started investing was for "freedom" but my house is still tying me down.
