or get good tenant for around 1200$ on vacant unit (i reduced rent from 1350 to 1200 as not much interest in current market) and hold few more years absorbing repair costs and contractor issues, trees issues, retention wall issues, tough neighbor issues, loud music, tobacco etc. smell issues, dogs barking issues.7.

Most can provide a rental report to see how much properties are renting for in your area and how long properties are staying on the market. 

Then they will start the process over.As for finding a market.

Hello all! I want to share an experience ive had over the past fe...

It's not illegal as far as i'm aware, However it only works because section 8 is so competitive in D.C, I imagine it might be a turn off to potential tenants in less competitive markets

But it does give an easy way out for busy out of state heirs who don't want to deal with organizing with other heirs to redeem the property, put it on the market and split the proceeds.

Generally I'm seeing anywhere from $25 - $40/Sf in TIA in different markets around the country. 

Quote from @Shayan Sameer: Quote from @Samuel Diouf: Columbus, Ohio is a great market to consider if you're looking for appreciation markets that still have cashflowing deals under $200k.

I have a feeling my entire local market is going to be the same outlook to make their over value seem reasonable to themselves..Do you or they, control the future?

You can achieve or even exceed your current cash flow in markets that are more landlord-friendly than Boston.
