Since we have loads of time to sit I have been researching and listening to the podcast to gain some knowledge before jumping in.

I see 3/1 SFH sit much longer, waiting for a tenant than a 3/2 does.

I believe there is some sort of arm's length rule, preventing this, if I recall correctly.

So I'm waiting for now and I think that I would have to sit for another month to close. 

As it sits, there are 7 townhouse style units with below market rent. 

Long story short she didn’t sell and is now sitting on a gutted house.

Suggest you sit down with them and get their advice.Regarding paying for ANY property expense - we run a PM company.

If not, you have essentially no recourse and must wait for "the system" to do it's thing.I recall in 2008-09 when Section 8 did a cram down and reduced contracted rents by 10% in some cities. 

Then, when they have enough small batches they will aggregate them and take them to the post office where they will sit for a week to 10 days while the post office schedules them for delivery.

I recall seeing prices tank in Arizona, Vegas and Florida 10 years ago and they rebounded nicely.
