My brain want's to automatically assume rents were not collected, not that they were just sitting on your $$$$ because that, wow, that's a BIG problem and a VERY bad sign of things if that's the case. 

Frankly for us, it is better to let it sit for 4-5 months with an occasional booking instead of renting it for cheap during the off season.

You can hold the tenants responsible in that way.But to echo what the folks here are saying, sitting down and having a conversation with either party regarding their break-up and the present situation would be a no-go for me.

If you find that properties without central AC are sitting on the market longer or renting for significantly less, that could be a sign that it’s an important feature in Columbus.Ultimately, while the lack of central AC might narrow your tenant pool, it doesn’t have to be a deal breaker if you can find ways to compensate, either through rent pricing or future upgrades.

Then a guy sitting down said “Yea you have to water the grass every 6 hours or it will die in 5 days”.I since sold the home.

I always tell investors there is such thing as return on equity, and if you have equity sitting in a home that is not being used, then your return is zero. 

Sit on it for 6 months before you do anything.

That property is vacant and now sitting being destroyed as we speak and the owner has about 6million in loans on it.

Quick Note: Sellers who offer smaller or no buyer agent concessions in an attempt to increase their takeaway risk sitting longer and going for less.

This irks me.My primary goal is to pay as little money in interest as possible, and the advantage of the 1st Lien HELOC is that it gives me the opportunity to use my sitting cash to help achieve that goal.
