Some investors will chose this approach ( @Michael Swan ) while others would rather leverage historical appreciation trend that goes back at least 50 years (requires little effort).If he desires the more passive route of riding market appreciation he should still sell because his ex-home purchase was not purchased to be a good RE investment (it was purchased to be a good home to his family) and that by searching for a good RE investment rather than a good home he can find an investment that will out produce his ex-home. 

All hail the monkey!

We do offer a "ride it" option, where they can just continue to pay rent, utilities & lawn care while we try to get it re-rented, but there's an element of gambling in there that most people don't want to try; if we get it re-rented immediately, they would come out ahead, but if it takes more than a month they come out behind.

It's also one more thing to complicate your rental house...it can leak, it can fail, it can get damaged by hail, it can blow off in a wind storm.

Many of the ski areas offer mountain biking where you ride the lift up and ride (or maybe fall) down.There are shuttles from DIA up to some mountain towns. 

I never wanted to be in sales as I always thought it was a grimey gluttonous position, but this type of sales is to help YOU and fight the insurance company.If you are in the Tulsa or surrounding areas looking at homes to buy, my teammate and I would love to come out and do a FREE inspection of the roof and gutters to see if there is enough hail and wind damage to have the insurance total it out.

Wait until their lease is up & then remove them if you still feel you need to but most importantly BUCKLE UP because it's gonna be a ROUGH RIDE.

Hope it doesn't snow or hail!

I have 2 horses that are a heel horse(team roping) and one is for now a trail riding horse.
