I'd love to hear others' opinions on this but I am a fan of making the house as attractive as you can to a potential buyer, even if that adds cost. 

So at this point given the large amount of income that the wealth management company kicks off, this very nice profit from the real estate portfolio is looking less and less attractive every year especially considering the time and mental real estate it takes up for her and the tax consequences.

The obvious attraction is the beach.

The ROI is attractive at 16%, but ensure ARV aligns with recent comps given market trends. 

@Kyle Carter just because a building has all section 8 tenants doesn’t necessarily mean that the cap rate will be higher on exit but it might attract a buyer(s) that are focused cashflow and not appreciation; therefore a lower price to juice the yield.One of my non negotiables if I were you would be to only buy in an area that is desirable.  

There are times when we see deals on the table that won't produce any cashflow or not enough cashflow to meet our target hurdle rate but the tax benefits or appreciation potential may make the deal attractive. 

Over the past decade, Columbus has attracted substantial investment from tech giants like Intel, Google, Amazon, and Facebook, which have collectively committed over $50 billion to developing data centers and semiconductor manufacturing facilities in the area.

The higher credit is attractive, but what if the couple's income is 3.2x the monthly rent and the single woman makes 6x the rent?

While the property is in a smaller town, it’s relatively close to a larger city, which I think adds a lot of potential for attracting both short-term guests and long-term tenants.The motel has fewer than 16 rooms, and the nightly rates are extremely competitive for the area.

-- We focus on verifying 2-year work history and verifying rent payments with last 2 landlords (unless in same property for 5+ years).3) MoveIn Specials: be careful with offering "free rent" as will just attract tenants with no cash.-- Try free TV or something else worth 25-50% of one month of rent.-- Or, what we do is offer the free rent AFTER & ONLY if they pay their first 3 months of rent on time to earn it.4) Lower the rent 5% every 2-4 weeks until activity picks up.5) Understand this is the worst time of year to find tenants.-- Starts picking back up end of February when this tenant pool starts getting their income tax refunds and aren't broke anymore.6) Section 8: where is the property being advertised?
