Just wrote an article on my website on how to reduce the number of keys we keep as landlords and how to get them organized.

If you can take those to any architect or PE, it could reduce the amount of time they need to get an understanding of what is existing and what is going to be changed by your team.Semi-retired architects (who are still licensed) are also great for this type of work.

Sante in these situations IF, IF you take it on you reduce your offer heavily to the bank on the REO.If the bank wants a premium and to dump a problem then move on to another property.

We have flipped a few houses in flood zones, but always reduce our purchase price to reflect the reduced sale price on the retail side. 

So.... the higher your primary insurance is  IE. 300, 500k, 750k  the less likely the Umprella policy will have to be used therefore reducing your premiums somewhat.Does this make sense to you?

A buyer can reduce payments for the remaining term by paying a lump sum of money.

If something happens to your debit card, it's YOUR money at risk...If you can manage your spending and pay it off every month, using a credit card to get back some sort of return on something you would otherwise be buying (whether cash back, points, miles, etc), there is no reason not to realize that return and reduce your risk of getting your card information stolen.

This reduces your profit to $26-$19K .How fast do you want to sell?

Most small operators pay 14-16% per year for their PM when the fee dust settles, especially if they had a turnover and new tenant placement.If the property is in your area, do the work to self manage to reduce this huge expense. 

I have watched homes listed for $1.7m reduced down to $1.5 to sell.
