Not horrible for holding a problem free property for 5 years!

Your best advise on this thread: Don't trust ZillowFor some reason, in particular, Zillow does a horrible job at calculating ARV and appreciation in Indiana in general.If you're really trying to determine what the percentage of appreciate is happening in the area - you should be looking at comps within the last 3-6 months.

Their relative assumed this was our cabin, so they clicked on it and found some horrible reviews - really bad.  

The new thing is teaching idiots to rent properties then sublease them as Airbnb units......That's going to end horribly in so so so many ways.

Andy,Colorado Springs is HORRIBLE! 

There's hard money loans that will lend to you with horrible credit, rent to own, seller carry  and many other crafty ways of financing your deals. 

The kitchen and bathroom was horrible. 

If you can sell at any level above "horrible at it" (really, "not horrible" is all it takes when what you're selling is money...), quit your job and go become a loan officer. 

So I guess I'm not in a horrible position for a 20-year-old, but that is what I am going to find out soon as soon as I call up some brokers.I totally agree with you on developing relationships with lenders, brokers, etc.

An $18k return on $700k is pretty horrible.
