So I am assuming you were the lender on these properties and they did not manage them well and they went into foreclosure.

It costs the same amount to replace a roof or furnace whether the house is worth $300k or $30k (assuming a similar size).

I'd assume CA and WA would be similar.  

I'm assuming traveling nurses don't know many people in the area and would know someone to live with. 

Is it because the loan you assume after a cash-out refinance is more likely to be higher than your gross cash flow? 

Just not worth it plus it's probably going to just get worse.I would not renew and re rent with it not being furnished assuming the furniture is trashed.

The land is in a very non-desirable area pretty much in the middle of no where so I would assume the cost of the land is low but don’t know how the ROI would be after you had the infrastructure up and running.

I realize I must hold onto the property for at least 5 years.Questions:I assume 1031 exchange is possible as in-laws qualify as an arms length transaction?

I haven't taken it, but would assume it was at or near their best stuff...the inability to ask the specific questions you had might have taken a part in that.  

I assume there will be a lot of Canadian dollars heading this way with the potential tariffs.
