Any recommendations how I handle this situation?

Seems like your brother would be the person to ask.

@Eric Johnson - If your rate is good, you could consider doing a "subject to" deal where the person buying gives you a cash infusion for the right to own one of those properties. 

Her staff wasn’t allowed to handle money, so we didn’t receive rents for months.

As far as you saying you don't know if it's in an HOA, it likely is, given how you described it and that shouldn't be hard for you to figure out just by looking at a Google Earth map (sometimes the name of the community will appear), or pay a local person off Craigslist to go drive it and find out the community name, take pictures of the lot, etc. 

Either we are handling our water resources exponentially better, or something is fishy out there politically. 

While I do not invest personally in OKC I work with a lot of folks who do.

It seems like if I could put together 3-4 people who are interested in the same deal, and get them to pool their capital together on a flip, you would lower the per-person risk, you would allow more investors to enter the market. 

I personally don't mess around with landlording and loans any more.

What's the best credit union in Atlanta to help with funding deals with a personal loan and build a long term relationship?
