I would be inclined to work with them on this as long as it was a short visit. 

So, even though I haven't done a HUD deal in a year, I am inclined to believe that what she says has and has always been true at least since 2011. 

Cobb county as a whole is on a pretty stable incline. 

My first inclination would be to get copies of the deeds, insurance policies and determine the financing status of all the homes.

Hope you get another better offer :) ya my inclination is to pass on this buyer.. normally my wife handles all the buyers but I am working this one solo.. so she can concentrate on the 12 pre sale contracts she already has..

I believe that this would improve the space for future tenants, but my first inclination is that this is too complicated and opens up a "can of worms".

One other thing I didn't mention is that our timeline for moving is extremely flexible and we would not make our plans until after we have found a suitable tenant (even if that means staying with a friend or renting something short term locally), so at the moment I am a bit inclined to want to try things ourselves using some of the recommendations from @Nathan Gesner, @Chris Berry and others.I also did a a rough analysis based on the two local PMs I have researched and the potential cost savings would be over $6,000 a year.

It also requires gaining a level of sophistication and knowledge that not everyone has the time, inclination or ability to do.

That is an amazing amount of equity to have in a deal and most lenders would be more inclined to do that.

It's hard to tell from the photos, but there is a pretty steep incline between the road and the sidewalk.
