My longest one was also 3 or 4 years and had to do with being landlocked title company defended and finally worked out a LICENSE to cross state lands to a public road so we could sell but that was not easy..

Curious to hear how others handle this.Since we service our own loans - and since these are commercial, not residential, there are few farther barriers we need to cross.  

So posts like "do you need to sell your house fast" is not going to cut it.Actual value so that people like and share your posts.The best maerketing is done when you cross pollinate your efforts.Send them to your youtube video, and from therem send them to your instagram.

@Peter Z.Recommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

You could look at a portfolio loan on all properties (pulling equity to cross collateralize for downpayment).

That said, some lenders offer creative structures like cross-collateralization or blended products that can reduce your cash out of pocket, so it’s worth connecting with a solid broker who works with investors regularly.

Fingers crossed!

You might ask someone like Kyle in your office to give you a list of properties they have sold, and then cross reference that with the appointment made by the appraiser who appraised the property for sale.
