Wonder if he was planning to spent the night up there?

It was old and outdated so I spent all my extra time renovating it before we got married and she moved in. 

I grew up in southern MA, went to school in RI, and spent all 4 of my college years working in Providence.

We loved this property, we are thankful for the time we spent here, grateful for the greatly discounted monthly cost of living and for the ability to capitalize on the primary residence clause.

If you've spent all of your money and have no way to keep marketing to whatever list you've used and can't buy more data, you are all done for now.

I spent most of my 20's in the construction industry and know a lot about doing the actual work it takes to renovate a home, so I feel that gives me some sort of edge.

You have "big box" PMs and local PMs.

They spent a few months working on it and improving various things, mainly cosmetic.

Your time will be spent reviewing reports, talking to the pm company about the asset, paying loan payments and whatever bills you choose to pay vs the pm company like taxes, insurance, utilities etc.

I.e. rent checks will still have to be mailed to the owner of the property(or placed in a locked box at the property), the PM could do showings but could not agree to negotiated lease terms, they cannot write the ads for listing the property (thought they could post what the owner has written), etc.
