So its no major mystery that these are not performing as advertised..

Overhauling that would be a major (expensive) upgrade. 

I think so many of these responses are based on made up hypothetical’s and not real life, I don’t think the vast majority of people are out to marry someone only for money & I certainly don’t think you want to get married assuming divorce but in the real world life is long people can be married for decades and something can change people can grow apart, you can even have a contentious divorce where getting the money becomes as much about hurting the other person as getting the money itself, I don’t think there should be any shame in making that even in a good marriage that if you grow apart you don’t put yourself in financial jeopardy.

Then, after we fixed them up we were able to create equity in the properties and when we refinanced them we were able to get the majority of our money back out of them.

I have researched the top brokerages in major metropolitan areas, and I'm reaching out to them Via email and phone calls.

Secondary markets and tertiary markets only, no major cities.

I’ve been using the same VA service and haven't had any major issues so far, so I think it really varies depending on a lot of factors, like the market, your criteria, and how strong your buyer's list is.

My company sends our listings out to many different platforms, but now does not use Craigslist or Facebook.The majority of inquiries for me come from the Zillow family of sites and rentals.com affiliated sites, as well as our robust internal database. 

All are within 30 minutes of major employers.  2) Like most metro areas in the surrounding states and regions, we've had an inventory shortage for more than 5 years.

Any major pros/cons for the ones listed?
