Lumber, Steel and Copper prices have gone down which will help new house construction costs. 

If we can unload it, we'll get an enormous tax refund next year from all of the suspended passive losses that have been carried forward.  

As the OP refers to, small investors may be in a vulnerable place if hedge fund managers decide to cut their rates or unload unprofitable homes.

That would be my first step instead of just trying to unload the property.

What is the usual discount for lumber, cabinets, shingles, plumbing, and electrical?

If this turns out to be something I do not like, I feel I could unload it easily.I've found a few similar to this in my area although most are HUD cases.

I almost had a 6-family in Framingham with seller financing, but the owner decided to unload to another investor... good luck! 

Purchased a few years back, rehabbed, rented for a year or so, hoping to have it sold in the next few weeks. they're building a city dump a few blocks away and i want to unload it before i have to deal with it.i'll tell you what i did. figure out how to find the auctions in houston https://dailycourtreview.com/ ($20 a year or $2 in quarters in newspaper machine in front of where they have the auctions)Also, the websites of delinquent tax attorneys Linebarger Goggan Blair and Sampson, at http://www.lgbs.com, or Perdue Brandon Fielder Collins & Mott, atwww.pbfcm.com, contain lists of the properties set for tax sale by the taxing units they represent.searched for houses near my current place research them (google/zillow/trulia/redfin/realter/har).comdrive by the houses analyse what you're willing to spend on itfind one or more that you're willing to invest indo a foreclosure title search a few days before the auctiona few days before to make sure it wasn't removed from the auction block, thus wasting a few hundred dollars.also to make sure there a no outstanding liens on the property that could cost you moreregister for the auctiontake a big wad of cash that you've been saving for years and get small cashiers checks 1k/5k/10k/etc to the auction and watch the other biddersthen bid..The property i got was starting at 30K... someone bid 30k, someone else bid $30,100, then i walked behind them and said $35k. maybe i scared them off by bidding 5k more, maybe they didn't want the property anyway.some of these bidders for $5 at a time trying to maximize their returns. i was new, and i'm 6'4", so maybe intimidating?

Definitely map it all out under worst case scenario with something this big, because you will not be able to quickly unload it most likely in Tahoe if it is not able to pay for itself. 

It is hard to unload the real properties.
