Did she miss the tax reassessment?

They have since moved on to a new manager that is in close communication with me to get the repairs done and SDIRA is even offering to pay me the missing rent for December that the evicted tenant never paid.

Are we missing something?

As I said, the piece I am missing is the mentor.

@John Humphries - without knowing your contract, I would not let missed payments go to far down the line, I would recommend maybe its time to have your atty review the contract and reach out to them.

The best investors use both—leveraging technology to streamline the process while relying on their expertise to identify the nuances that software might miss.

It can provide a very misleading valuation.Your appreciation numbers reflect just below 4% a year (I used 8 year hold) on both properties which is below national average for this period and below what neighborhoodscout depicts for Chicago 10 year average. https://www.neighborhoodscout.com/il/chicago/real-estateLooking at this from the outside, I am missing a lot of details such as your interest rate, is there a prop tax benefit for long holds (by the way look up prop 13 for CA at some point as it may play a role in your decision to purchase once you relocate to San Diego), the neighborhood, appreciation potential going forward, any emotional attachment, etc.  

Sorry I missed this and thanks for sharing your story.

@Grace Tapfuma I have no idea how things work in Australia but if I were you in the US…Don’t sell the business.Businesses usually sell for a much lower multiple of their products income than real estate does.To be honest, you’ve built out a lot of infrastructure to create a successful business and maybe reinvesting in it would create a much better return on investment.For which you could reinvest those future profits into real estate, once you’ve scaled your business into a money making machine that isn’t so dependent upon YOU to drive the bottom line.I had a friend (38 years old) just recently sell his medical device company for $30M dollars and now he’s using this chapter of his life to passively invest in real estate ventures.Meanwhile, I’ve been toiling out here for 19 years as a real estate investor and I’ve built a portfolio worth $18M and have a net worth of $5M at 41 years old.Sometimes the grass isn’t greener on the other side.Correct me if I’m missing something!
