remember payments may only be 400 a month at best.. 6 months reserves is a whopping 2400 dollars.. so someone theoretically with less than 10k in cash could get into these properties.. this William I personally think is highly dangerous for lender and for buyer... its not losing the 10k that's nothing its getting your personal credit trashed when you can't make the payments because you lost all your cash.IMHO if you want to be in the rental game you need 20 to 30k liquid at anyone time that you don't have to borrower etc.. this will insulate you from taking a loss. as you build units of course its not exponential but you need a base.And since this is not TRUE cash equity only paper equity there is no hope of selling them for a profit or what you have in them.. 

Your thoughts and suggestions are greatly appreciated.Leticia My view is AB1482 requires you to negotiate with tenant any significant change of lease terms (loss of garage definitely a change of lease terms, loss of yard and construction zone may be change of lease terms) and your tenant can likely block your efforts.  

Finally , I have found a realtor company three years ago in PA.They helped to sell the property for 90% loss.

If he is broke, its just a waste of your time, and I would say cut your losses now and consider it a lesson learned.

Otherwise, it is pretty hard to claim the loss as STRs are generally very profitable.

If you cut your price to $1350 a month and placed a renter after 30 days, your total loss would be must smaller.

Even if not required, I suggest getting rental loss coverage on your deals. 6 months is suggested.

I figure I'll get losses of 20-30% of the purchase price as a general rule.

Hey @Nelisa Lee, @Gregory Schwartz is referring to the profit & loss within QBO not showing the cash flow of each property since it does not factor in things like principal paydown, PITI escrow payments, CapEx, etc (those are balance sheet accounts). 

We don't know what states the properties reside.Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Montana, South Dakota, Virginia have different laws.Oh, and by the way, an attestation to the insurer and others (mortgagee) will not change premiums nor constitute a “sale.”There are considerations such as the loss of asset protection after judgment (beneficial interest is personal property, not real property), but if the property is clear of a mortgage and the concern is title theft (a concern you raised), then putting the property into a land trust is probably a lower cost alternative to maintaining a debt (which irritates the wife).
