There are people to help people to get help....

Refinancing isn't going to affect landlording or property management much at all.

Some (few) people have been able to turn wholesaling from a job into a business.  

I use a property management company but I also stop monthly to check on things.

Where I was from (large orgs) managers are pretty strict on what information they can provide for employment verification.

We are currently starting to do flips to fund our STR acquisitions, are people typically buying properties through wholesale or using a realtor?

I see a lot of people say they want to go local, and while I understand the sentiment, one of the biggest myths I see perpetuated in lending, or insurance, or appraisers, etc. is that local is better. 

I've seen things like young kids hanging out there and even people using it as a dump zone.What are my options with this property next door?

It is important to people reading that just because you see property management in the name does not mean it is a legit property management company.

Furnish finder is for mid-term rentals and even with that, hosts are finding Airbnb does better at bring people in to stay for few months.
