Eventually I had problems with Regions getting wires out on a timely basis.

Since 1031 is tax deferral, I assume the gain is calculated with the likely substantially lower basis from the pre 1031 property acquisition + additional cost over the years.And yes, recapture all depreciation ( on both prop before and after 1031) make sense.

But it is not an easy home to fill given the rental rate is above average for the neighborhood (but well below average on a $ per sq ft basis). 

I have hired a revenue management and listing optimization company that tracks all of this for me on a daily basis.

That said, $8k is a big nut so I'm really not quite sure if I will go with a private consultant on an hourly basis or go with them or some other form of coaching.  

Rode by this beautiful home everyday and it made me sad to see it falling down.

cash flow is just tough today, and investor sentiment hasn't caught up with the market yet, as lots of new investors come on to BP every day planning to buy 5 properties in the midwest and quit their jobs. 

I do this every day.

So it really comes down to who is willing to get out of their comfort zone and come into the office every day and hit the phones to find deals.

@Jei MercadoIt's definitely going to be a case-by-case basis.
