Instead, you might want to think about investing those proceeds into another passive activity that generates future deductible losses.A good friend of mine in Phoenix faced almost the exact same issue last year.

This would only be for my personal transactions and if a friend wanted some help.

I am doing this one for a friend who never has been a landlord.

A friend introduced me to Bigger Pockets, and I’m grateful for the resource.

Online you get pitched way more than you get connected, although you can make great friends here.2.

Don't invest with "friends".

Anyone knows of a few wholesale friendly title companies in Sacramento county area?

You hear of landlord/tenant friendly states.

We would typically not do this, but talking to a very experienced property manager friend, they agreed in fact suggested we let them out, this would be the one exception... crazy and aweful situation.3. 

Ive been in contact with a real estate investor friendly realtor I was matched up with through the bigger pockets website.
