She hired an attorney to stop the proceeding and they filed an appeal with indigent status.Fast forward 20 months and they are still living in the property.

That is why they have been unresponsive.In order to get the ball rolling here, assuming there is a Will leaving everything to the son who is trying to sell the property, the son must hire an Attorney to file the estate for probate, and obtain Letters Testamentary naming the son (if he is so named in the Will) as the representative of the estate.  

Good morning, I'm going to begin a ton of cleanup/labor work at a property I own and I'd like to hire out a large portion of it.

I figure if I use the MLS4Owners instead of hiring a listing agent, and negotiate that the sellers pay the buyers agent commission (why should I have to pay for their hand holding needs?)

Are you hiring a reputable home inspector?

Do I need to hire an attorney?

Those areas cash flow, so if you are uncomfortable hire a PM.

I am hiring contractors.

Former football player, still very active, I have a full time job as a med rep.

PM fee, and i would hire a property manager for college rentals. you are looking at about 10% so another 150 / month. so your cash is now 350 - 550. that's the only problem with condos, the HOA fee's, they usually eat up some of your profit. you would have had to hire landscaper and garbage removal, but it wouldn't cost you the same 260, probably 150. what about taxes ?
