I am trying to track down the owner of a property and seem to be having some difficulty.

If there are repairs and work those funds should come from the LLC.If you personally are paying repairs etc out of your own pocket your LLC will owe you Back that $, but if this is not tracked a CPA an attorney will most likely tell you don’t even bother having a LLC as you are commingling funds and the asset protection you is essentially voided. 

Some of the gurus think 2021 Q1 we will be back on growth track.

I guess now I need a little advice, what would you guys do in this situation. we have completely lost our leverage to to use that as motivation to get a tenant back on track.

Do you have a call funnel, website, how are you going to track the responses?

On the other hand, I am capable of being a landlord and don't want to make a bad financial decision by selling during what might be turning into a rough time for the local real estate market.

You drive for dollars to learn the areas and track which homes you identified as ones that then get renovated and then you watch the numbers to learn the scale.

Aside from providing the basics (ie. listing tool to get the property published to 10+ major sites, scheduling tool to schedule viewings, tenant screening with comprehensive applications -- pulled reports from TransUnion, which include nationwide criminal background checks + credit checks + eviction history, digital lease creation tool, rent collection tool), automated maintenance tracking is key (and having everything in one spot makes a world of difference when it comes time to have a contractor come in and make a repair).

I would appreciate hearing your recommendation of a real estate firm or team in Central New Jersey that has a strong track record working with real estate investors.

She put me on the right track.  20 SFHs later, the only reason I would use a realtor is if they are the listing agent on an MLS property I wanted.
