A low maintenance condo rentable to good tenants sounds like a good starting point to me.I’m 56 and reasonably setup for retirement, so real estate is a stabilizing diversifier for me.

I know this seems low, but the way I see it, this is how much the buyer would potentially walk away with if they posted it on the market and minus all the fees and concessions so I am getting them to that number with none of the hassle and removing the issue of a looming foreclosure.

-Ray (see above) is the man and can get you hooked up with great rates and low-fees!

It makes less and less sense in a market with low inventory and high interest rates.

Strong rental markets with low vacancy rates are ideal for long-term holds, while areas with high ARV growth are great for flips.

Last but not least....A few members in replies have already mentioned why it makes sense to hold…….I very much appreciate ALL FEEDBACK, however I think it will be helpful to provide some added context as to why I am absolutely certain (and my CPA’s are convinced as well) on my decision to liquidate the entire portfolio and onceAs I educate clients on daily, income tax brackets as well as long term capital gain tax brackets in our country are more favorable right now than they've been at any point in the past 80 years.

This absolutely sucks, they should be held accountable.

I'm working with a company who owns a small, 19 unit, senior and low income apartment building.

Anyone that is looking at your assets is always going to need to factor in property management, so you can show that as a real expense (and really make it as high or low as you want).I work in a vertically integrated real estate and development company, and I cannot imagine how things would run if we did not have an internal property management company that essentially works for the other companies but also stands on its own.

We look for good school systems, low crime and desirable neighborhoods.
