After all was done the neighbors apologized for over reacting and I was now out $2400. eye roll.My personal thoughts are the danger is over blown.

Until the foreclosure is complete, the owner is the only person who can sell this property to you. 

I recommend styling your tables, adding a theme and just making the property have more personality.

Let's work together to change the game for the mutual growth of your REAL ESTATE business.

But you are not liable personally for. 

Speaking from personal experience!

Say someone has $20,000 cash and its just sitting there, and cant be used for retirement accounts because they are maxed, and the person has no debt.

Diversity of portfolio is good for maintaining capital but if you're having success in one area I would continue with it until you have enough capital that needs to be diversified and then seek out professionals in those spaces who can benefit from helping secure your capital in other asset classes, personal opinion!

I charge 10% of the monthly rent, and if I have to go to the property in person for a routine inspection or to oversee a large job or high ticket estimate, Its $25/hr + $0.50/mile driven.Hiring a professional manager is ideal if you dont have the patience, mental space, or availability to receieve random spur of the moment repair and emergency requests.

I personally would be their agent, but I am very hesitant to partner with people unless I have fully vetted them.I would be their agent on a few deals, and then you would decide if you want to partner with them.
