I would start looking into liquidation options before you lose a bunch more equity to fees and interest from non payment.You would be very surprised to see how quickly your balances will increase once you stop paying.

Put safety first by looking closely at homes, guessing fix-up costs, working with good workers, and having backup plans for surprises.

The most convenient part is having different phone numbers for various entities that can all run through the Voice app.

One convenient method is to visit investorlift.com, where you'll likely find numerous wholesalers listed on a single platform.

The tenants have been enjoying the convenience as well.

More than four months rent were lost between missed rent payments and legal fees to evict the tenant.The next tenant was much better, but had frequent complaints regarding legitimate problems: -bathroom sink hot water knob that didn't work-rat urine smell coming from the vents-water leakage from the toilet(I understand that problems occur, particularly with properties of this age, but it was surprising/disappointing considering I paid Ohio Cashflow $64.9k for a property they bought for almost half the price, then, even after having done improvements, still required frequent repairs.)3.

Not your fault but I'd be curious what they indicated...It's very surprising to me that they visited the home and didn't have an issue with double covered roof and missing shingles..iIf that's the case I'd say it's less likely you have full replacement cost on your roof but I'm just making an educated guess.You need to check your policy to see what kind of coverage you have.A claim will definitely affect your pricing.

Step 3 - no surprise, the renovation costs more and takes longer than expected.

I would be surprised if you see any market at all for short term rental in that area.  

Yes, you will pay for commissions (which are 100% negotiable)- I like the idea of approaching the agent for the new buy (if in the same area), who might give you a discount on the listing if you also buy from him or her.There are programs out there that help you BUY before selling, they will give you a 20% downpayment and money for repairs on your existing house- you'd have to use an Agent and them that is affiliated with them and they act as the straw man lender- check out Knock.com, Ribbon, Orchard, Homelight, etc- and there are others- I'm not sure which are available to you in California.In most states, homes are sold "As-IS" anyway), and all you have to do if you cannot make repairs is to properly DISCLOSE what you know isn't working, so that buyers can take that into consideration in ADVANCE of contract, in both their offer but also to save them surprises later on which could cause them to back out- if they know in advance and all is disclosed, there's less chance of that happening.
