With the way rent rates are falling as of late, this has never been more true than right now.Selling your current home and losing that amazing rate would be a huge disservice to your progress. 

You may have neighbors willing to help now and then, but it's unlikely you'll find a neighbor willing to do this all the time, every time, for years.In my experience, most landlords lose far more money through self-management than they would by hiring a professional, even when they live close to the rental.

These do not have to be paid the same day as the auction but if you do not pay them in a timely manner, you could lose the property to tax foreclosure yourself.While you are at it, you also must check to make sure that the minimum bid covers all of the taxing entities and not just the county or the city.  

Moreover, if you're unable to or decide not to continue with the purchase, you'll likely lose the tax deferral.

If you do use a roku/firestick/smart TV, is there a quick way to log out when doing turnover without resetting everything (and losing WiFi connection) or having to manually look into each streaming platform (Netflix, Hulu, Disney,etc) and signing out?

If you try to go over the whole list, you’ll lose the attention of an average person and they won’t remember anything!

Their existing fixed mortgage will (afaik) invariably have a lower interest rate than they could get by replacing it with a first position HELOC (except for promotional/temporary lower interest).I'm always against promotional low interest rates presented by lenders (for long-term loans), as if they're going to be on the losing end of such a "give-away product"!

How can an investor best exploit another set of investors who will likely lose their shirt on bad deals of the past?

I could start a course and start charging people "How to Not Lose Money in the Midwest"...lol.

(Yeah, that last one was a snarky comment.)CONSYou lose the homeowner capital gain exemption.
