RE Investors like to shake their head at 2006 when you "just needed a pulse" to get a mortgage. 

I'm excited to finally become an active member of this forum and connect with other investors, share some knowledge, and get some valuable feedback from the community.I used to live in South Florida, but about a year ago, I decided to shake things up and moved to Charlotte, North Carolina.

We are considering arbitration, and the local real estate board offers that for a small set fee, but are we going to get a fair shake there because these guys might be friends with the broker? 

Here’s where I’m at:Bozeman purchase price: $325,000-$350,000Rent: $1800-$2000/monthAppreciation: HighSelf-managedWyoming purchase price: $190,000-$225,000Rent: $1300-$1500Appreciation: Medium-Low – in line with inflation to slightly betterProperty manager needed, but property taxes are very lowSo – looking for input to hopefully shake off this crippling analysis paralysis.

When you look at a potential security deposit claim of $50 to $400 for a 15 year-old refrigerator on the one hand, and a possible $3000 legal bill on the other, it simply isn't worth the effort, or the risk.Thank them for staying 6 years, shake hands, part ways, buy a new fridge, and focus on more important things - like getting your unit rented again asap. 

As I'm sure you know, Binghamton is going through a massive zoning shake-up and where people are living is going to change a bit.If your properties are in an area that's expected to benefit, like south side or JC, they might be really worth holding onto.

We have sold homes that I shake my head what people have paid for them

Even when I control myself and conduct myself the best possible way, I have a hard time shaking off anxiety when I'm not talking to them anymore.

We shall see how it all shakes out!

I also think waiting another 6-12 months while you're saving up your downpayment for your second property, is a good idea since it might be good to see how COVID and the expiration of the eviction moratoriums shake out.Unemployment has increased a bit and some people seem to think there may be a "wave of foreclosures" from people who bought properties in the last couple of years and whose tenants haven't been paying for months.I'm not sure if that's true (I can see arguments for and against that theory) but I'm saying there are some definite question marks up in the air right now, so waiting a bit to see what happens, while you save up your downpayment, might not be the worst thing in the world.
