It sounds like you’re looking to put your equity to work without the hassle of traditional rentals, which is totally understandable.If you're not interested in another property or dealing with tenants, here are a few ideas to consider:Invest in REITs (Real Estate Investment Trusts): This would let you benefit from real estate market growth without the headaches of property management.

I am glad I stumbled upon this, as I am an avid outdoorsman and own 2 rural properties totally 30 acres, mostly forested.

(VA lender) Total collected rent would be at about $67200.

@Ben Syzek with $50k, you're probably looking at a property with a total cost (purchase price + reno) around $250k.

Need to buy all again.Had stocked packed linen closet but not anymore..need to stock again. 

was there any total loss?

No ductwork was added to this basement which is totally below grade and naturally 15 degrees or more cooler in the summer.At a third house which was 2 story with boiler in the basement adding ductwork to the first floor was easy in the unfinished basement, and running ducts to the second floor was not all that difficult. 

Total waste of my time and his.  

I’d recommend interviewing a handful of companies, asking for referrals, and making sure the team you choose has a multi-layer review process—so it's not just one person handling your books, but a team with oversight and checks & balances.And totally agree with @Markus Shobe: you get what you pay for!
