Should I wait until I can dedicate more energy to this?

.: I'm taking a break from buying and my previous approach of analyzing deals in inexpensive markets, looking at hundreds of properties on Zillow and running the numbers, which I spent hours each on each day and became really burned out.

Good luck  Total Rents Collected: $23,025/mo Debt Service: $12,358/mo (sad for me. 8% interest rates lol) Property Management 10%: $2,303/moReserves (Vacancy 5%, Maintenance 10%): $3,454/moPhantom Cash Flow: $8,365/moTrue Cash Flow: $4,911/mo (Money I can legit burn)  bob as you probably know I owned a few hundred of these types of homes from DetroitCleveland to Jackson ms  Birmingham balt city etc etc.  

In the meantime, most of my capital is tied up and I am looking to be Super creative and I have absolutely the time and energy to cold call until i find someone that is game...even if i got to get a property in Alaska.

I start by telling them we have a lot of money tied up in the property, and we've been burned by folks that wanted us to believe the best of them.

What would you do in my shoes I don’t invest there so take this with a slight grain of salt but I’ve heard multiple stories of basically this exact scenario someone getting offered a big payday for something in Cumberland, rejecting it & always for some reason (house burned down, block got worse, sheetz decided they actually didn’t want someone’s land for a car wash after all) always selling for like 10-20k and regretting not selling. 

They weren't that much more expensive than a generic blanket but the principal and selfishness burns. 

Typical renovations include:Cosmetic Updates: Painting, flooring, kitchen and bathroom upgrades, and landscaping.Structural Repairs: Fixing any underlying issues such as foundation repairs, plumbing, or electrical updates.Efficiency Improvements: Adding energy-efficient windows, new HVAC systems, and better insulation to increase the property's overall value.The goal of the rehab phase is to increase the property’s market value while making it an attractive place for tenants.

Prior to clean up make an inventory even if burned.  

If you’re below $275K, focus on high-impact upgrades like improving curb appeal (landscaping, fresh paint), refreshing the kitchen and bathrooms (new hardware, lighting), or adding energy-efficient features (smart thermostats, LED lighting).
