Now, let's see if we can figure out your next steps.You could just sell them off for a little profit as others have suggested.Another option to consider might be finding private lenders who could help you bring these to closing (sale).Start by listening to family, friends, neighbors and others and listen when they complain about their 401(k), IRA, etc. and not getting the returns they would like or that their accounts are at risk on Wall Street.At the same time, learn about self-directed retirement accounts so you can teach those other people how put their money in a position where they can have greater control and get greater returns with less volatility.Then, learn how to introduce people you know to self-direction.

@Shurrone Jordan I would stay clear of houses which charge an HOA for a very simple reason: it's an expense you as the investor cannot control. 

LOL.my guys all take title then resell. really as simple as that .. so maybe that's one thing you should investigate as well. especially if your dealing with low value assets that don't take to much to buy them.. nothing like controlling your inventory.. makes you a true player and a proud investor

Variables that impact production (lighting, co2, pests) are more easily controlled in an indoor environment.

Such as Vacancy, Credit losses (uncollected rent and skips), Pest control, legal, accounting, leasing.  

I am considering transferring the properties to a LLC so we have more control over our personal income (take distributions as we need, etc), have more borrowing potential under our own names (liabilities would disappear from our personal taxes), and have more protection.

Personally, I like having a place to lay my head at night that is under no one's control but my own (putting gov't issues like taxes aside for the moment).Being Asperger's, I'm not a socialite, to say the least, but I'd want to have a place to invite folks where they'd comfortable.

Who controls the board?

Looks good besides the need to add pest control, lawn-mowing, power-washing , and or snow -plowing if needed.Also interest rates are 6-7.5% right now like @Sam McCormack said.

Unfortunately, money controls a rehab schedule much better than the contract.
