The properties that typically need to be put on the market are done so through existing channels, as Dave Metsker indicated.

You are on track with starting things like a youtube channel and podcasts but if you are going to start these you want to commit to them.

We will now officially be back stateside in a couple weeks and then we can really get started.I'm torn on areas and strategy... 

I've not heard or seen that podcast, there are some sharp folks who may do a podcast or put information out that aren't fully informed, grazing over some finance topic may give implications that may not be completely true, finance is like that, it goes much deeper than what is generally described, even in official documents as they use terms such as "owner occupied" without going into detail.

Manny, I just posted this video on my YouTube channel.

I'm talking about getting to know these people, they can call her, and she can pull comps and give them her opinion for no charge (not an official appraisal).  

I buy house like this were people attempted to bypass the proper channels and usually get great deals.

If so you have a pretty slam dunk case.6) The cheapest route is usually to hire a attorney to draft up a "official" looking document to send over to the seller.

The live in tenant I had was a good friend so I did not have an official agreement/lease.  

If you get the cash out this way you could do a rate and term refinance through all conventional channels up to 75% LTV.I hope this helps and have a great day.
