Hello BP,I am searching for a motivated real estate agent in the area that has experience or specializes in bank-owned and pre-foreclosures.

I am VERY familiar with Baltimore and the DMV as that is where I am from and know that "The Wire" wasn't just an HBO special.

I have learnt a lot within a week by browsing through the forums in BP.I am a Software Engineer in San Francisco Bay Area, specialized in database technology. 

I would think checking in with an attorney that specializes in HOA/COA law would be most helpful.

Open for any discussion.As David said, the market is difficult (specially for bureaucracy) but you could find very good deals.Most wealthy people in Spain just invest in RE.

I'd really like to stick with the previous places mentioned, but if there was a special deal...I'd look at it.

Also think about why you're really keeping that NH rental, If you sell it to another rental investor the tenants will be fine and are they somehow special to you either way?

You can get property managers who specialize in it and likely you'll pay the same percentage you would for a family.My suggestion would be rent to a group of friends, professionals ideally but college students too.

I have seen a few programs out there that specialize in 2nd non-performing notes.

But if you're looking to determine what market rent is... look around at other properties that are for rent and similar to yours, hire a professional management company that is familiar with the market that can give you an accurate rent number, or talk to a Realtor that specializes in rentals.
