@Cody DeLong If you want to see delinquent taxes you should be able to get them from the county or whoever handles them in your area.

If you can't do that and need to take cash out or reduce your debt you can.  

The out of state properties are being handled more like a business because I am forced to do so. 

Interested to hear how many of you handle rent increases. 

If there's no relative, then probate will likely be handled by public administrator and they'd be in charge of auctioning off the house. 

How extensive would it be to replace the current hardware with a new one that was included with the shower handle (see pictures)I would love to be able to replace this handle without having to tear up the whole shower wall - even if that means buying a different handle that would fit.

I personally like that it allows for a view outside from the kitchen, but I can see how it feels less like a 2 bedroom and could reduce the sale price.Thanks in advance for advice!

I avoid buying projects that have major issues that potentially weaken or reduce your buyers pool.

2)  Because (like you) I was willing to do the dirty work... fix up the homes, find the deals, handle the rent etc etc...

Sounds to me like she was charged, not convicted, charges were not reduced but dismissed, and record was expunged.
