It likely would require something grossly negligent with huge consequences to have a chance to go beyond my coverage and we are not that negligent. 

However, we also recognize the time value of money, so while it might pencil out to turn a profit, but we get an immediate payback versus a six to nine month holding time, it might make more sense to sell them both as bare land.  

I bought a 3 Bedroom SFH in Cahokia Heights, IL on April 2024 and it is STILL NOT RENTED TODAY.I bought for $79k convinced by the Section 8 mentor Tom Cruz to buy from his team and to focus on cashflow vs. appreciationI went through 3 contractors that all did a subpar job and just barely got it all togetherI haven't been able to find an appropriate Property Management team to help on this side of ILI have it listed for rent (Zillow, Turbotenant, Fb, Craigslist) for about 3-4 weeks now since repairs were done.If anyone has any suggestions to get this rented ASAP I would greatly appreciate it and any Property Management connections that can help would be amazing as well.Thank you all for your time and Happy Holidays & Happy New Year Ouch. 

What I do see is that a strong screening process improves your chances of getting a responsible resident. 

This will give you the chance to see how well you work together before committing to more overhead.

Any chance to connect is a chance to add to our team.

I kind of didn't want to mention that on the listing so that it wouldn't turn people away before they even had a chance to see it in person.  

But at least you have a chance, and aren't exacerbating the problem as much.

These are rural counties so I was not expecting to get this back so quick.. my client e mailed me Tuesday we negotiated the deal ( bare land) I open escrow yesterday .

We can't compete with people not paying payroll taxes,comp, pioneer etc.I mentioned to Bruce on another post that there are barely 210k active licenses left here.
