All end buyers can see it on the market now and can buy it direct so what would the point be of you locking it up on assignment and then asking people to come back and buy it when they already could have bought it without paying you spread in the middle.

I see a lot of people buying class D rentals seeing it appears to cashflow then have one tenant stop paying and destroy the place to bankrupt themI do not want that to happen to you, so this is why I gave the options I did.

With a multi-family property, it is very unlikely that all of your units become vacant or non-paying at the same time.

@Kayla M. sadly as other have said, often out of state investors are paying more than is worth, and it can be tough to get back out of a deal.

@Scott Goulet if that's the case and there is no significant difference in occupancy, then my gut tells me that it is not a major factor that guests consider and are willing to pay a premium for.

Find the best property you can afford that also can produce enough income so that your monthly out of pocket expense is equal to or less than what you'd pay in rent.

However, if you bought it and managed it as a market rate apartment, your experience would be very different.My point is, I can control how fast a unit turns simply by adjusting my asking rents.  

If it does go to probate, hopefully your brothers and you can amicably go the informal route vs formal (I've worked with families in both when buying properties out of probate and informal is FAR easier).Since there's no debt on the house, maybe you could sell with financing or maybe you could even buy out your brothers with financing -- that way you maintain ownership and just pay them a monthly amount.

At least in my area, it's cheaper to own a condo with the HOA dues than it is to pay for all the utilities, snow removal, waste management, maintenance, etc, that goes along with an SFR.

Everyone associated with living there and/or paying for the unit goes on the lease.
