If that's the case and you aren't viewing more properties in person than you are making spreadsheets on, you are destined for analysis paralysis.Spreadsheets can only tell you estimations based on numbers given to you online or by a real estate agent whose job is to sell the property.

If it does and you can't rent your house traditionally without covering $1,000 a month in costs, and you can't sell because the value isn't there, then you're in a pretty frustrating situation. 

I just got into selling investment real estate and am always looking for new connections.

I also had to pay contractors he stiffed in order to remove liens so I could sell the property. 

We are cash flowing over 2K a month and the house has appreciated to high 300s-low 400s if we were to sell today.

I have great properties that sell themselves.I love the analytical tools and free price automation Vrbo provides. 

Thus, it's rare you can sell within the first 2-3 years and not lose money. - And it's not just investors. 

Quote from @Alexis Herrera: Hello, I have a home in Miami that someone is willing to sell. 

For a $70k home with $15k in repairs, selling at $100k might net $10k-$15k, or 12%-18%.

@Kim Tran There isn’t a direct equivalent to a 1031 exchange for selling an investment property to purchase a primary residence, as 1031 exchanges are strictly for like-kind investment properties.
