I learned everything I needed to know in the Nolo Press book for California landlords.I can see you are passionate about the subject, but because I disagree with you, that does not make my advice "bad," and yours "good."  

We are accidental landlords.

Its the third largest city in PA, but doesn't get a lot of press.

I accidentally posted this in Commercial Real estate before I found the New Member Introduction Section.  

Hint: (more professional style of dressing).Something as simple as a solid color golf shirt with your company logo and a pair of well pressed tan pants might go along way--because first impressions count.Nothing wrong with what you have on in the picture, (for a backyard BBQ or etc...), but it is possible if you're trying to do money business, a little more professionalism might help.Then again maybe not, because you still have to find and get to know people you can partner with.Good Luck!

I will remain patient, but I won't be left out the loop, and have this deal operate in the shadows.I plan on calling my agent tomorrow and pressing him in a professional manner as to what he may know and when we can expect to close on this deal.Updates to come, thank you all for your sage recommendations. 

I think you'd be hard pressed to find anyone with any experience at all, who would tell you it's okay to go without!

I picked mine up for my $600 duplex house with an attached vacant lot...lol, ive spent more money on accidental bar tabs.

With most cities being more hostile than welcoming to STR I would be hard pressed to bet on an area with that kind of uncertainty for two reasons.

I have all of this in email.Unfortunately a year ago my current lawyer was referred to me by the sellers agent so I am reluctant to use this lawyer if I seek to use legal counsel to press further charges.
