As I understand, I'm still responsible for paying condominium fees and property taxes, which is becoming a significant burden for my household.I'm exploring options to recoup at least half of the property's value, considering it's currently uninhabitable.

.- One SFR had a tenant just move out, another is going through an eviction, so with half of the portfolio vacant, it's decision time.I'm trying to decide whether to sell them as a portfolio (at least the 3 Georgia ones as a portfolio, Iowa would probably have to be sold separately), or get the other 2 empty, fix them up and sell them all to retail homebuyers. 

You posted this thread, so you have already started.Just like @Jonathan Greene mentioned, don't chase the quickest and easiest method to wealth.

You could do all of this at half my age. 

My landlord stuck me with an early termination that amounted to about half of the cash that I had on hand.

What's funny about this is, half the time the appraiser doesn't even care.

When he gets plastered, see if he will sign off on your situation.Joking, though only half so.

I have about 140k in cash available, and looking for guidance on the best route for funding the second half of constructing a duplex.

The reason being is they can quote you a low rate (too good to be true usually) and then half way through the process or even worst at closing the rate is subject to what it is that day and then they excuse themselves because the borrower never asked for a rate lock or were never aware of what a rate lock is.If you have any more questions I am happy to help.

Also, if I place bad tenants frequently, I can count on being fired, so what sense does that make to ruin my reputation and lose other business for half or 1 months rent commission?
