My guess is that your property management company approached the homeowner without much empathy, and the occupant is right to be skeptical as many people don't realize they've lost the home.

I realize you are an expert on 1031 but perhaps "interest tracing" concept is less common...

Then you can start digging into utilities/etc that might be large hidden costs many don't realize are needed.  

I’m currently facing a similar situation and realized that I wasn’t using the right resources or consistently marketing to a single, optimized list.

It does not take too many months of missing out on a savings of 514 to realize that PPP was HUGELY expense in actual 16,000 or savings you had to leave on the table. 

There's a reason they are cheap and investors rarely realize their paper ROIs with these types of properties.

I realize it's not my right to tell people how to vote, but I'd like to put a clause in that reads, "Every time a levy, school tax increase, or special tax assessment passes, rent will increase by 5x the amount of that cost." 

While many people do this and get away with it, you  need to realize ther are costs and risks for doing this.

I realize there are better in investments, but we like Wildwood, NJ and would use it for 1 week during the summer and a weekend getaway during the off season.Current pricing appears to be $650-$850K for 3BR/2BA, 1,400 sq. ft. and ~$16K out of pocket costs ($5K yearly taxes, $10K condo fees covering wifi/cable, flood, sewer, trash, etc. and $600 for content insurance).

I realize this seems self-serving coming from a property manager, but it doesn't have to be me.
