@Cody BakerSearch the largest city in your region, find that club call the president and ask them where are other clubs.Also check for the local landlord association they will have meetings you could attend.Paul

I am the President of NWREIA.

That being said, if he elects to stay and squat in the property, you will need to evict him like any other tenant, which can take time and court costs.You clearly are a sweet and sympathetic person.

State law and presidence will determine when an offer is no longer valid if a time to perform it is not stated in the offer.Short sales linger on and go beyond what is considered reasonable (30 days) in my area to hold an offer open and enforceable.Keep in mind that a short sale is sold by the owner not the lendder and even if the seller agrees and it is an impossibility for the seller to perform due to the existing loan and a reasonable time passes that seller won't have much recourse IMO.

@Carissa MennenBuyers may also enjoy several benefits should they elect to buy an owner-financed home, such as:Greater access to financing opportunities, especially for low-income buyersLower expenses associated with closing costsMore flexible agreement termsPotential for no PMI premiumsMore accessible for those with poor credit.Read this article for more information https://www.rocketmortgage.com...Good luck!

Good thing the condo was 15 minutes walk away, so I had to go to his home of the HOA president where he wrote up the board resolution.

I understand from other discussions here on BP, that the IRS may have very stringent requirements for REI's claiming Professional Status to enable RE losses in excess of $25,000 per year against non passive income.One suggestion, in addition to detailed records of the over 750 hours of RE activity, is the "Election" of combining of all your RE properties into a single entity.I have not found a way to do this in Turbo Tax (no chuckles please).Does anyone have experience with this and discuss the pros and cons of such an "election."
