In my experience it's easier to liquidate single family homes compared to other asset classes, that's why I like them better.

The reason to have comparables is if you are representing someone or perhaps purchasing a house for yourself to live in.

Research the options available, compare their benefits and risks, and decide which approach aligns best with your goals and preferences.House hacking is a great start.

I've seen this in the news.This doesn't affect me because I'm small time compared to these big companies.I also don't purchase any pricing software.

Platforms like Zillow or Redfin can give you insight into comparable properties, and PropStream is great for deeper analysis like liens or ownership history. 

PMs can minimize their suffering from unrealistic expectations by showing comparable properties that are on the market for rent and having a discussion with the landlord as to how their property compares and how his property can be more attractive to renters.Landlords are running a business. 

At least comparatively to properties in California, Washington, Montana and Idaho, investors seemingly still get a lot of value for their capital. 

Since I'm based in Tampa, I don't look outside and compare markets. 

To rent the home, I would lose about $2,500 per month (based on comparable rents in my area, property management fees, etc).Both options loose the same amount by roughly 2 years, and by this time, I still will not have built up much more equity in the home to make selling it a break even unless there is price appreciation by then.My dilemma is this: I speculate that my home will not appreciate much in the next 3-5 years due to the rapid pace of development in the surrounding area.In 5-10+ years, maybe, but by then I'll have bled $150,000 - $300,000.I have thought about this a lot and feel that I mar'-too close to the problem to see the best solution.

Another way to say is that what is the value of the property (today) compared to what is owed on the loan?
