There` are strategies of giving notice of sale to a lender and stating that acceptance is to be assumed if they fail to object, I have done that many times, if push really comes to shove pay off the loan, but many times it makes it appear to be more complicated than it might be worth for a lender to proceed, it always has bought more time in negotiations for me, but it doesn't work 100% of the time.Getting creative, mixing ideas without a deeper understanding of law, finance, real estate customs and requirements is pretty much penny wise and pound foolish, meaning see an attorney.

I volunteered to do the research to find out what other landlords in other communities have done to fight/object to these increasing fees. 

Production and distribution timetables and costs apparently killed that model however they still produce those great topical articles.Here's an alternative way of looking at your investment objective: lifestyle.40 years ago, I knew what I wanted my lifestyle to look like (somewhat).

You go to a sale ready for action, you look around and see numerous large farmers that are double digit millionaires standing around talking to each other, (because they don't seriously acknowledge any "little" guys in the room.  

My third (and final) year of school I started a digital marketing business (Tosler, Inc.) with a friend.

to get objective opinons make sure the PM is not owned by the company selling you the house...

They have filed objections to motions, requests for argument for non-arguable matters, extensions of hearing dates etc. etc.

Yes they have monthly fees, but you get a pretty good crm, a good enough website, pre-built marketing, and digital signature program for that.

To me, it's about owning properties that have positive net cash flow, appreciate in value, attract quality tenants and produce double-digit returns.Like you, I had a less than great experience with my first property, but I still have it, I learned a ton, and other people paid the mortgage for 10+ years.

All that being said, my main objective for this particular investment is cash flow.
