They stopped paying because some family told them the cdc moratorium meant they didn't have to pay rent.

The one hangup about the deal was this was a probate property which meant I had to wait until the executors approved the sale by the deceased owner's family.

That meant the selling agent would get 4% and it always worked.  

While home for the holidays I met with a few of the local investors who appear to be simply purchasing distressed duplex's, fixing them up, renting, and electing skip any refinance to maximize equity & cashflow.

Just graduated from WVU, and after finding some mediocre jobs in the middle of a world wide pandemic, I have realized I am meant to work for myself.

If you can't get elected to the board attend all meetings and ask for financial records to stay abreast of the financial health of your HOA.  

I was elected to the board that night and served the next five years as treasurer. 

Discount buyers at these price-points are very difficult to service...that said, you do have an agency relationship and the agent has elected to represent you...maybe they just don't get it.

Another I use; a perk where you guarantee tenants the right to renew for an additional 12 months without rent increase at the end of the term if they elect to renew.

Apologies I meant using a HELOC to pull out equity instead of selling the property off.
