If it was a case where a long term tenant was leaving piles of trash on the property (yes had this happen to me once) to attract pests that is a different story.

These seem high to me but I’m inexperienced so I’m not totally sure.

That brings more perspective to me during this process.

There has to be a way that makes sense but its not coming to me yet.Appreciate your suggestions in advance.

@Ryan Foster That loan rate of 5.85%/20% down seem high to me... 25% down usually get you way down in rate, but I understand you wanting to put minimal down up front, but even so I think you can get better rate than that.The reason is I just closed two homes in past few weeks in the Phoenix area, and my rate is at 4.625% w/ 25% down and some 800 credits from a big bank. 

If this is not possible could I sell it to an intermediary and have them sell it back to me using the IRA funds for purchase? 

But since I am currently living here I get the savings on utilities so that is worth it to me.

Honestly, to me, the only difficult part of remote managing is to move in and out tenants with possible evictions. 

Downtown Lowell feels more city like to me than Malden Center for sure. 

She mentioned to me that items under the property to secure the foundation was not completed and began to tell me what was wrong.
