I reached out to a few investors I knew who invested there, asked for references, kept calling around, etc.

I’d be happy to jump on an intro phone call and talk more about your goals.

If the mold is extensive or potentially black mold, call in the professionals right away.

Call the building department of the town you are in and ask the general question. 

What is your solution for when the Due on Sale is called?

Just some thoughts, and happy to walk through your situation on a call/webinar if that would be helpful.  

It's called a live-in flip.

I can keep much tighter control on expenses by not getting ripped off by contractors or property managers and was able to negotiate a better, long term lease with a large international tenant because I knew there were literally no other options in my town. 

Since your unit has been empty since Feb 1 and you have someone wanting to book for a month starting April 6, it's a tough call.

You'll find a way better ROI with a wholesale if you can find one that doesn't require a ton of rehab  Thanks @Preston Dean I have a call with Melissa Data List today.
