Make friends increase your circle of influence - Hire a private detective - they are good at finding people (give his a piece of the profits)Check the death notices or search government record for certificates of death, check the obituary for next of kin - contact them. 

Go make friends with them... it will be an excellent step forward.

Here's the kicker - I need to confirm because I also currently have a house that I'm renting in Washington, DC where the rental laws are very different (EXTREMELY tenant friendly).

If you can make friends and get to know people and LIKE people, then you can deploy that relationship in a manner for all to make money.

One of them happens to be a mixed-use commercial and residential space.First, traveling from NYC to Rochester area is very taxing indeed, not just a day trip.

Hi @Julia Bykhovskaia, do you know if your friends with 10+ properties counted their STR income on their financing?

If possible my first thought would be to convert to a apartment, and cosmetically alter so it has a more residential type entry,, and facade.   

I am a 25 year old South Denver native and have worked as a carpenter for my fathers residential remodeling company on and off for the last 10 years (throughout High School and College), since graduating college I have become increasingly interested in the business side of residential homes and have therefore been a licensed Realtor for 18 months now.

the realtor was supposed to have changed the pictures a little and we just added the aerial shots a friend did for us.

Looking for an investor friendly Realtor to help me sell a low value REO property nre Quarry Park.Thanks
