Given the size of portfolio needed that presses a need for it to be mostly A class assets to mitigate operational weight, so it could push closer to $80m in acquisitions. 

Hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday season!
Unfortunately, the end of 2024 has brought a string of financial challenges for my family, and I’m feeling the pressure.
Two weeks ago, I was laid off from my job....

Not so much ;)So now investors are feeling the weight of dog properties…be it higher interest rates, non paying tenants, property values falling, government intervention (especially in CA), etc.

There are pros and cons but i believe for most properties the cons out weight the pros.  

@Mohammed Islam, The claim of loss due to the tenant moving out for the sale COULD absolutely apply to the situation.

It's ok to sell properties at a loss (you get the downpayment back to repurpose into something better).If you have four or more properties, this is what I would do (I just posted part of this as an answer to someone and thought it would make a good post):1.

Looks like the money goes to the Escrow Company so no loss but the seller has to sign to release it. and if the seller thinks they were lied to by the wholesaler ( very common) they will not sign.. and the money is stuck too small to litigate over and if not resolved the title company will file an interpleader with the court and send the money there.

We sold it at a substantial loss, but at least recouped some money.Analog:I did get a lawyer, but he finally decided it was too expensive to sue a company that does business in a different state.

Sell at a slight loss.

I have been with a property management company for 2-3 years in Arizona and the property is being run continuously at a loss.
