I am not in Valencia unfortunately, doing this businnes distantly.

STRs and the lost rental income is just one reason I am expecting some property depreciation in the not so distant future.  

When we tried to sell it some distant niece and nephew showed up on the title and they are not wanting to work with us in order to sale the propertyCan we sell his share of the property which is the major portion ?

Garlin Smith Is there any chance you have a friend, distant relative, went to college, etc. in any of these markets?

I'm not a real estate agent for other people and never want to be.And again, money is the DISTANT third most important for having my license.When I first started in this business, probably 30% of my deals never closed for one reason or another.

Events are mostly virtual now (good for you since you've only just booked your flight) and will soon let you rub socially distant shoulders with fellow investors at all kinds of meet ups.I hope to see you at an AZREIA meeting, hanging out with your friends in Old Town, hiking Pinnacle Peak, cheering on the Cubs or playing 18 at your new favorite course!

I still have a lot to learn, but I am truly thankful (and humbled) that achieving self-reliance is not a distant dream.

I have a background in accounting and finance, so I'm hoping I can at least start pumping out P&L statements in the not-so-distant future.

We were sitting on his deck enjoying the distant view of San Francisco and he asked how my "real estate stuff" was going.  

This could be done with a shared calendar--especially in a virtual/distant team.
