You can outsource and automate all you want but when you run into your guests in the driveway and they want to talk you can't just walk away....your reviews will reflect that.I used $1100 and $437 as a real example. 

@Sean O'Keefe I believe the study this refers to actually costs around $500, plus a few dollars to your accountant if you want him/her to walk you thru it.

For me personally, I consider it a B neighborhood because it's walking distance to so many amenities, and I felt mostly safe raising my family there, but not everyone is comfortable living in a developing area.Last year (2024), we moved out of the home and converted it into a rental.

All,I'm trying to walk through this thread and I am apparently missing something ... wouldn't be the first time nor likely the last.   

Instead of a pile of books or printouts at least you'll probably walk away with some money when the deal's over.  

You can find opportunities on MLS and with wholesalers and walk the property.

So they basically did rental arbitrage on your property for 7 years and then walk away. 

Only by reviewing past buy/walk decisions and market decisions will I be able to hone my chops for future decisions.

This will save you on subscription costs.If you want to discuss any of this further, I'm happy to answer questions and help walk you through it.Best of luck!

They walked away from their leases, took FEMA money to move (and maybe even replace some "damaged" possessions, and are now living in new housing on the taxpayers dime.
