These will give you a clear picture of the property's current performance and potential.

As it's been non performing.

Was a good unit turn performed?

You want a hustler, not a top performer, if you want check-ins.

So you can find better performing investment properties.

Quote from @Benjamin Finney: Chris, interesting niche on non-performing mortgages/ rtl's.

Owners mistakenly ASSUME all PMCs offer the exact SAME SERVICES and PERFORM those services EXACTLY THE SAME WAY, so price is the only differentiator – so, they often select the first PMC they call or that calls them back!

For context, downtown Alexandria performs super well as a rental market and bringing in $5.5k+ as the monthly rental income if you choose to move out of the househack in the future will be absolutely feasible (depending on the property of course).

The S&P 500 has that inflation adjusted "average" of 8% annual return, compounded WHEN drip back all dividends, and IF it performs as it has previous 30 years.
