You're going to be hard pressed to keep it rented continuously. 

Did you run into a pressing need for immediate funding and a future purchases?

I think most people here are going to be hard-pressed to tell you what YOU should do with this property, as without a plan, you can't provide enough information.As for what I'd do with the property...

hello, as a seattle investor i caution you to invest in this market right now if cash flow is your strategy. you will be hard pressed to find anything that cashflows that is in an area that makes sense and has a quality tenant base. you may do good on appreciation over the next year or so, but a correction is looming and seattle is a highly cyclical makers, the highs are  high but the lows are low. also, as stated above many times, seattle is on of the most tenant friendly cities putting an addition burden on investors/landlords.

A great place to get an idea would be the Detroit Free Press or the Detroit News. 

They don't want the bad press and since they lien the property they know they will, most likely, be able to collect when the property is sold.Electric and gas utilities are provided by private companies.

@Dain Boelter, Hmmm...and I have not accidentally noticed the lock box code over the realtor's shoulder or checked the lock box code when they were in another room and then gone back later, not with my GC, to check out the property.

They get incredible benefits they would never get if they managed on their own, like free evictions, up to a month of lost rent, $2,500 towards accidental pet damage (after applying the deposit), some of the best application screening money can by, solid procedures for handling problems, a solid/proven lease agreement that is current, legal, and enforceable, and about 109 other benefits.

It was in 1990 and before BP (heck, maybe even before the internet) and I was an 'accidental landlord".

You have to consider the fact that what they did would likely disqualify them from your approval process, in and of itself, if you decided to press charges.
