I manage collections and fraud in my department as well as general servicing, and I can't tell you how many incidents that have been resolved in our department due to the incessant posts of the subject on Facebook and other social media.

I received another phone call today from the HOA, and the manager said we could resolve this if my tenant let's the "crazy" neighbor help her with the birds.

@Edrin Shamtob Some people will always tell you that you should only invest in your own back yard but unless your own back yard is compatible with your  investment goals, then you have no choice but to go oout of state.

Simply starting the process may resolve the problem.

I can't think of any solutions to resolve seller's issue without me having to put more money in.  

I can appreciate the resolve and risk tolerance to invest halfway across the country.

Why would I put myself in a situation to rent my car from my landlord, would I feel like I could demand problems be resolved without that effecting my lease relationship?

My most recent new tenant whom I had questions about earlier, did resolve a phone number issue, which of couarse he still does not answer nor set up a mailbox for messages, but hey!

More work involved... more issues to resolve... interesting situations to navigate.Sounds like you found title companies that prefer the low hanging fruit.

I haven't sold the lot yet (working through title issue), so cannot give you my experience working with any of them, but just researching for decent financing once resolved, and that's what I've narrowed it down to so far.
