I put a gumball machine in a house to stage it...  

A list of service providers comes up, the manager arranges for the repair and notes this in the ticket.

A few items truly were things that I would want fixed, and we made arrangements to fix them.  

s plan, invest 10M today.Broaden your horizons  :)     I actually have a specific reason for asking anout those strategies, because I already have a big "Why" and know what my end game is, but I feel like I need to raise capital first to funnel into that undertaking, and  also to build a track record  in the early stages.

If any of these aspects are not met, then you don't have an option, you have a purchase arrangement. :) 

Unfortunately, this closing required a notary - so it was off to the US embassy to have this arranged.  

Well I am just about at the end of the rehab stage and will be putting up an ad to get this place rented by March 1st.  

You must know who is buying homes in that area and rehab it with them in mind.Then price the rehab for 5% less than the comps.I like a little staging, just to give it a homey feeling and get rid of the empty, hollow feeling.MLS is a must.

At this stage in your life, you have a salary and don't need to rely solely on cashflow to survive.

As to the process, basically the same option arrangement can be worked out, but depending on what kind of property it is youwill have many things to address.
