I found 3 and looked the owners up, they're all 80+ living out of state and according to public records the taxes are being paid.

I have 2 potential deals in the works, one a subject to and the other with owner financing.  

Dan Gilbert as in owner of the Cavs?

@Sarah Kamhawi wow......Im so sorry your going through the headache of this......but I tell fellow investors(landlord owners) and flippers everything is a learning experience within real estate.

I think it probably works for rural I am going to use the property to go hunt and shoot my guns and ride my quads type of property.. 

.* If you are moving just a short distance from the current PR and/or moving from a SFH to multi, then make sure you have very good explanation letter to convince the underwriter why they should approve this purchase as an owner occupied.With regards to the financing options, I always prefer conventional, so PMI eventually drops off.

I've literally never heard of any of those management companies, and I own a management company in Columbus and know most of the owners of the other property management companies in town.

Is it an owner occupied loan?

And don't worry, I'm not related to the owner (last name Lee).

My initial thoughts were to rent it out, but an investor friend recommended the owner financing option.
