Do you invest in the Midwest or you're physically located there?

While algorithms can analyze data at scale, real estate isn’t just about numbers—it’s about nuances and the most important component of real estate is understanding its value, and that to me (maybe I am old school) but can only be done by physically visiting and walking the property.So for me, factors like local market conditions, property inspections, and borrower credibility can’t be fully captured in a formula.

This is a physical asset, not paper, and it's providing consistent income.Albeit for your not understanding tax laws and depreciation, I'm wondering why there's a question as to what you should keep.You understand capital gains, but I'm pretty sure you're not familiar with depreciation and loan paydown.

I ended up having to hire an attorney, file for a writ of assistance, and have the sheriff serve the writ by showing up and physically removing the occupants.

Scale down, explore passive investments, seek financial advice, prioritize well-being, liquidate assets if debt burdens are too great, and reenter the market cautiously, leveraging past experiences.Good luck!

lol It says RENTAL HISTORY not PO Box history lol. have you been able to physically talk to the applicant on the phone?

If there aren't any massive physical problems with the property, it appears you can grow income and equity.You might be able to buy this with little cash out of pocket if the seller owns it free and clear and was willing to finance nearly all of it.  

They're not out to just make money, but take care of homeowners, business owners, partners, etc and their well-being. 

If that is the path moving forward we will be left without a home as of 9/21/24 which will create incredible financial, mental, and physical stress on our part.

Distressed properties are real estate assets that are usually sold at a discount due to financial or physical distress.
