Long and short, when I now look at my "return on Equity" numbers as opposed to my casual on cash return numbers it makes all the sense in the world for me to sell.Wholesalers contact me at least once a month the past 10 years and are always asking if I want to sell one of my properties, but I'll be hard-pressed to ever find a wholesaler that wants to pay me for what these properties are worth and is also willing to buy all the properties in one transaction which is how I'm looking to sell.Given how good our return numbers are here in northeastern Ohio compared to the parts of the country I know that out of state investors would definitely be very interested in in this portfolio.

Then my second house which was freshly turned had a tenant that up and left after a couple of months and caused excessive damage. 

But…There’s ZERO chance I would rent by the room for $600/months more.

Columbus - less monthly cash flow - higher predicted long term appreciationDayton - More monthly cash flow - standard expected appreciation

Family immigrated to the US 1 month back. 3 children have found jobs at a nearly plant and the father will try to find a job.

The company managing our property as a vacation rental was unable to get the power turned on in our condo for months because we had to get the meter switched into our name with the electric company (which is much more difficult to do in CR than in the United States).

It took 6 months of market research (you won't reinvent the wheel), 2 months to build spreadsheets (analysis paralyze), 6-7 house tours (leverage a local RE agent), and 30 days to close with a conventional loan. 

You rent it for one year and create a successful STR business that shows a trailing 12 month net income of $75,000.  

When you have a duplex and tenants on both sides stay for ten years, it almost guarantees that something isn't right.I would study your market and determine the value of your rental, because I bet you are losing money every month.

Great use of space and provides additional income to offset the monthly payment.Orlando, and many other cities, have a "missing middle" problem in regards to housing.
