I would love to keep it as a rental but at this time I think it would take too long for the rent values to increase enough to make sense Worst case scenario is I have to hold the home for an extended period if the market decreases short term. 

You can find higher ROI (on paper) here and probably in other cities…but the probability of actually collecting rent significantly decreases.

There was one month where an adjustment to 2017 Illinois taxes decreased my disbursement a bit. 

I don’t want my wife to be on anything to decrease the amount of paperwork and such she needs to sign.

If we are analyzing a turnkey property, is it reasonable to decrease the repairs and capex to like 5% each?

There are very few places where you can still get anywhere near the 1% rule, and in Omaha you really don't have to look that hard to find those opportunities in droves.Not to get too into the weeds, but I have a thesis that the Midwest as a whole will begin to outperform the coastal and southernmost cities as time goes on-- primarily driven by increasing COL & decreasing QOL in said coastal urban cities. 

Within each MSA there are pockets of increases and decreases, which are counter to the overall growth or decline. 

Below is the factual data.Rental Inventory & Median Rental Prices (The data is for Ft Myers and Cape Coral)As stated in previous updates throughout the year, we were expecting an increase in inventory and a decrease in rental pricing.

This is where a sale may benefit you long-term if you can find an investor to take it before the increased rate and pending rent decreases impact the value of the property further.
