It is easy to assume, but assumptions are only guesses and often clouded by our view of people.As you are out of state and this is clearly causing you stress, I would suggest talking to a few local property managers to see if they can take over management of the property.Vacancies do cost, though the price someone else quoted is higher than I've ever experienced outside of an eviction where lots of stuff was left behind and the place was not taken care of (both of those were probably $6K once I factored in lost rent).

Condo/homeowners associations supersede any local/county regs.

All monetary accounts had POD or beneficiaries listed (my sister and myself)  We did not want our parents'names to be tarnished by not paying the yearly taxes and their names published in the local paper as not having done so. 

I like to provide the fix and flip opportunities to local investors, and the stabilized cash flowing rental units to both local and out of state investors who are looking to add this type of product to their portfolios, as there are several, high quality full-service property management companies in the area. 

Hello,In continuing research into the different neighborhoods I'm Columbus any locals or investors have any opinions on area grading, tenant pool, appreciation prospects/ capital improvements planned in the Whitehall, Hilltop, Franklinton and the North/ South Linden.Thank you

Go to BUILD YOUR TEAM at the top of the screen and look for local investors or meetups in your area.

I'm interested in multifamily but my local market is very expensive, therefore I am looking into how to buy out of state.

If you will be local to your property, I would say first self-manage.

Especially if your numbers aren't making since locally. 

Hi Brendon,If you want to work with local companies, I suggest you simply call title companies and ask them if they can facilitate assignment of contracts.
