Just let it go rebuild your credit and buy something else.  

Those usually start around $100k.I was looking at an 8-unit a while back that had ALREADY been demoed and was getting rough quotes of $100/sq ft to rebuild and get rent ready.

I know there are tons of contractor tied up with helping to rebuild from the tornadoes but we are trying to connect with solid contractors that we could use in the future.

We are about 90% complete rebuilding our first rental property after a total loss house fire.  

.- The house itself is quite beautiful and generates $5-5500 in rent per month if we do not demolish and rebuild. - Right next to the property is a 20 unit apartment complex, 3 stories, worth $10mil and generates about $650k in gross rental income.- We have 6 other properties in the South Bay Area, almost no mortgage so I believe we have a higher risk threshold.Does anyone know roughly how much it would cost to build up to a 10 unit MFR, timeline, etc?

So after all that rambling... my main question is, is it worth it to hold on to my properties through all cycles and keep collecting cash flow or should I sell at each uptrend then rebuild my portfolio when prices are low? 

Can you add/rebuild/repurpose the footage within those brackets and still profit. 

We ended up having to completely rebuild the roof and joists and rebuild 3 of the 4 outer walls… among many other things including about 1/3 of the house being an old railcar.

as that is supposed rebuild costs. 

Im in the process of rebuilding my credit so in the mean time, im practicing and trying to get better with underwriting, i plan on investing in de or somewhere that isnt to far for me to drive.
