Not only that, but it was a buyer located on the other side of the planet, in Norway!

Pick any market on the planet and you will hear positive and negative comments.

Maybe the worst question on the planet...but...have you checked to see if there's a leak?  

Tell your friend the cheapest way to live near the beach is near Kau, some lands are selling for 15k ;-) there're still abundant land even in place like hawaii, of course, living in county where there are only less than 33 people persqm maybe less interesting than hectic place like san diego lol i used to confuse when US gov. kept saying unaffordable housing, unaffordable housing means people that are living beyond their necessities, america is still the only country in the planet earth where it has vast land and income/mortgage ratio is lowest on planet earth.

No matter what you do or say, no matter how much you sue, report or imprison bad tenants, even if every single landlord on the planet was to refuse to do cash-for-keys, there would still be just as many crappy tenants who would refuse to leave properties they have no right to.

Wholesalers are not even on the same planet...we don't have competition.

I doubt you'll find "greener" grass as compared to your current investment.

If you've got the kitchen or bathrooms torn out (thus making the property not habitable), then no ad on the planet is going to automatically mean that your property is In Service. 

The grass is always greener, right?

I think it's a case of the grass being greener.
