Tenant B replied that he was tired of “this” and that he wanted his lease terminated because he feared for his safety.

  (2) This  investor owns SFH's in a market that possesses the fundamentals but sells prematurely and fails to take advantage of the primary appreciation event. (3) This investor fails to recognize the equity generated through the primary appreciation event is better served being reinvested in more efficient asset classes that will generate a greater return profile after the primary appreciation event occurs. 

The only thing I can do to help justify it is that now with income in the highest tax bracket, I am saving 37% on any depreciation I can get.Will someone either wake me up to my new found delusions or encourage me that I am still on the right track.Buying rentals that don't cash flow is like buying a bike with two flat tires and no seat to sit on, then trying to ride home from the grocery store with a back pack of groceries on your back.Will it eventually get you there?

For me personally, we have tired to keep rent increases to a minimum to reduce turnover and that led to having lower NOI unfortunately due to two things:1.

Mostly owners that are tired of the grind and want to retire and enjoy life.

Other than that, I have done a separate "tired landlord" campaign targeting small multifamily properties that have been under the same owner for 10+ years.

Anyway.. like I said I sure could see it for higher end more sophisticated sellers that actually have money.and a great way to shed tire Kickers.. and BS I am an investor type people that really have no means or capacity. 

Even with the larger home, I'd save around $4k, depending on how much overtime I work.I am tired of paying high rent in the Bay Area, along with high utility bills.

Most serious buyers won't need any if that information, so it's their way of weeding out tire kickers.

What I can say is that the people selling in this market are generally ones that want to get out as they are tired.
