The Washington Post has several articles of bad apple investors.

I've been thinking a lot about this, and I think it's also important for me to subtract out everything I'll spend to sell this place (probably about 8%) in terms of calculating cash investment and returns on the next place to truly compare apples with apples.

I do this so I can compare apples to apples.

I am hoping a software is available to be able to categorize apples to apples by categorizing -for example all the "Sold" 2bedroom 1 bath homes within a the subject property's community/neighborhood.Thank you.

That same day, after eating a snagged apple from a friend's lunch tray and a sample piece of bread from the bakery next to my university, I headed over to the computer lab and put an ad on Craigslist to become a house-sitter/pet sitter.

Clearly not an apples to apple comparison.Turns out the owner has made some improvements since May, like a new roof (which I verified by driving past it today), re-tarring the driveway, improving the garage - this is everything I could see from the driveby - will see the interior on Friday. 

This tenant was the best of the bad apples for a property I have in Starke, Florida.

Exactly, apples to elephants...or something like that. 

You're mixing apples and oranges for a fruit salad.

With that being said, there are many 'great' wholesalers, and its unfortunate you found one bad apple.
