The latter tends to take longer and be more costly, but may be your only option when starting out working with a lender.Once you know what they'll approve and what the approximate origination and financing costs will be, then you can realistically start shopping for properties that fit the bill. 

I currently do not have a circle of friends who are interested in or currently involved in real estate.

I think most would agree that using an email address + bank is a reasonable expectation for pretty much any transaction in 2018, much less one with such a high value.I suggest that you should seriously consider either forcing the tenant to adapt to your online management (given that you aren't asking doing anything unreasonable with the rest of your tenants which I presume you aren't) or increase their rent as you see fit to pay for whatever inconveniences you're taking on to accommodate the tenant.You may have inherited the tenant in this "state", but unless some agreement was written into the lease prior, I personally wouldn't see that to be enough reason for you to go through so much trouble.With that being said, I believe 100% in going above and beyond for my tenants and if you feel that this is makes sense for maintaining the brand of your landlord business, I say go for it and good luck!

The nuisance and abatement officer is involved, but they have limited resources and he is pretty much a one man show in handling these issues.

And also, most of the renovation projects don't fit my criteria for rental so I would sell those too.

Fit with the neighbors higher values around me.

Are their specific methods or software used to monitor a projects schedule, keep GC's and subs accountable and all involved parties on task?

First step if you haven’t, even if zoning would “allow” 4 lots is to look at minimum lot sizes along with setback requirements from the streets and lot lines, among any other restrictions, to see if 4 houses could “fit” into 4 subdivided lots.

Really awesome to work with.I’m hoping we can make a match and, if your comfortable, work a good fit as a co-wholesale/JV deal.

I'm not sure they could be fitted with separate meters.
