I began shopping for a large construction loan to build a new car wash on the land. 

If I were a decent renter shopping in that neighborhood, I would choose that brick building over yours every time. 

The property can be unappealing in some way shape or form, old, derogated, who knows maybe there was a murder there several years ago and people can look up that information online?

You can also check their reviews online at Google, Facebook, or Yelp.

But I've hit the annoyance factor most reach in their 50s when owning rental properties about 20 years sooner.I am at work coordinating inspections and post inspection, was the appraisal done and could you email it to me, this lender gave me a 3.25% rate while you locked me at 4.0% LOL all of this and I haven't even started receiving a dime of cash flow.Illiquidity is the best feature of passive real estate investing, the 2nd feature being diversification (among asset types, exit strategies, sub-strategies, geography, risk, sponsors, etc.) you cannot do this if you are actively managing rentals.When you are 65-75 years old planning your estate, do you want to leave your heirs (who probably don't know or don't want to know anything about real estate) a bunch of physical houses, tenants, property managers, mortgages, online logins, LLCs, etc.

For best results shop the vendors (who can be covered by insurance/meet HOA requirements) and get several options to your HOA management company to have the board pick from.

I'll definitely be doing some research on The Short Term Shop! 

You may have to do this several times for all the different tasks being done.The only labor cost not covered by this type of online inquiry is drive time from the businessto the property, to the store & back for supplies and then back to the business address.

Have you had it evaluated by a Realtor, or are you relying on Zillow or other online algorithms to estimate your property's value?
