Which one is more appealing - continuing to own the house or the security of that much cash/liquidity?

I have filed for eviction on one tenant that I have placed in my career, and I was able to negotiate him out long before the court date. 99% of the time, eviction should not be a driver for whether you invest. 

In fact I had one done that size over the summer from some real slobs who moved out, and it required an inordinate amount of deep cleaning including almost one full day just on the filth of the kitchen floors, and it was $400. 

Do you know any good ones in the Phoenix area? 

@Chris Mahoo, rule one of investing: if the investment only makes sense because of the "tax advantages" it is NOT a good investment.  

Ex, can't get one through Chase bank here, but went to our local Credit Union.

The capital required for Denver, and limited cash flow makes it a tough market to get your next one.

@Brittney Yang first red flag is it doesn’t sound like he’s that interested in long term holds but the primary reason for partnership is expertise in renovation and secondary reason is balance sheet and income to help get financing.Regarding reason one, I would offer to compensate him for his time in assisting you and have a very clear scope of what that responsibility is.  

Using a recent example from one of my deals, I saw firsthand how inaccurate comps, misclassifications, and unfair adjustments could impact an appraisal by tens of thousands of dollars.I’d love to hear from other investors—have you ever had to dispute an appraisal?

I've decided that finding "deals" in Arizona is unnecessary as there are other markets that one need not search high and low to find something that can produce a decent cash-on-cash return.
