If the welding job is a "guaranteed W2 salary" (i.e. similar to an office salary job), that might be a way to go. 

I have to say though our customer service departments in our major metros here are truly unbelievable help to the hair on fire investors.And of course we prepped our own deeds got with the seller to notarize and ran them to the courthouse to record them.. then we would courier the reinstatement cashiers check to the foreclosure trustee ( in those days based mostly in Seattle)  we had the gal at the law office on speed dial.. its was pretty exciting really.

When tenants call into my office, I share with them local resources that have been successful for other tenants through this troubling time.

I currently operate a property management company in NC, managing 170k SF of office space.

I’m looking for deals in STL, small multi-family or single family homes. Need someone that is used to investors so when I ask a questions about loans they will know where I am coming from.

I'm assuming you know how to make some or most of these repairs yourself.My advice is talk with a loan officer first. 

My lease doesn’t expire till Dec, but since there have been problems before, the office isn’t fighting it, it’s already rented by the way.2 weeks ago......  2 adults with 4 kids moved in next door.

In my experience as a property manager, I can tell you that any time we need to act on an owner's behalf with an outside agency (utilities, city inspection offices, housing authorities, attorneys), we need to show proof that we have been authorized to act on behalf of the owner that is named on the tax record. 

I'm a Loan Officer working in Scottsdale, Arizona (though I'm licensed both in AZ and SD), and I've been dying to make more real estate connections!
