I would suggest you provide the utilities and internet.

the little nuances one learns in the foreclosure bizz... states with redemption rights are very tricky... in Oregon the rights sunset after 6 months.. so many investors if they don't have the rights ( ie can't find the person who lost the house) Or does not want to pay someone who bought the redemption rights and is holding them hostage.. they just wait out the 6 months and go about their bizz...

- What’s a lesson you’ve learned that would help someone starting fresh?

You have one STR, and you want someone to bring all of the money for your second?

from a laptop or mobile phone on one of my SFR's (internet must be hooked up, but most tenants do it anyway and like to be able to monitor the outside of the house remotely, even if there's nothing going on.)

Under any scenario, any state, someone who sits on their rights and lets someone get into the weeds to the benefit of the person who sat on their rights, will NOT have those "rights" enforced by the courts.  

Real life absolutely no one will give away on the internet their investor friendly priced good contractors. 

Embarassing self-reply, but if anyone on the internets stumbles on this one. 

I recommend you educate yourself on how to screen an ESA before someone takes advantage of your ignorance.

I do not set up TV, internet, or phone for tenants.
