Why take a larger risk when you are sitting great?  

I’m curious if anyone would recommend to not post a listing at this time of the year, as it hurts the listing by sitting and you lose a lot of the “New Listing!”

We are low hanging fruit, sitting ducks, vulnerable.  

It's usually better to earn $200 less a month for one year than to sit vacant for two months, particularly in the winter.Consider a bigger drop for a 6-month lease to get through winter, then increase rent or find a new renter in the spring when competition is hotter.

But you won't realize that until after the fact when you are sitting at home with the 4 books that came with your $45,000 seminar payment and you wondering "What's my next step?"  

Therefore they can sit back and accept say $5000/month on a multi whereas me buying it, now I need full rent amount which is closer to $6800/month.

I hope you or someone is at least keeping an eye on your properties for break ins, squatters, roof leaks, temperature control, frozen pipes (if in cold climate), if you have a basement and sump pump goes out leading to water damage etc.I just talked to two investors in California that have let their properties sit vacant (no mortgages so paying property taxes and insurance).

Now the customer is paying a crew to sit there ( that can get expensive) .What @Bill Kramer says is true .

If there isn’t anything that you can think of, most likely your property will sit on the market as well.

Good neighborhoods, excellent schools, and literally--where does the house I want sit in the actual neighborhood...I say does it look like a $650K house area when I'm done?
