If so, review it to ensure it matches the estoppel certificate4.

It’s where and how accents are created  New Yorkers and Texans speaks much differently than a Californian If possibles, when communicating with a prospect try and Match their accent. 

As long as you price it correctly, people will see the house condition matches the listing photos (professionally done), they will take the property as soon as they see it.

Lots of ways to start, but I normally recommend figuring out your WHY, and then match that WHY/your goal, with a location.

On the flip side, if you don’t think you can match what the average market rental is doing, and the returns for nice  properties are marginal, then I would avoid that market.

Would love to match with someone of the same age / energy level, but will keep an open mind.Also, I will likely be looking to extend my time in Cancun for 2-3 more nights (could be more).

There are some interesting pockets in Broward County in and around Fort Launderdale, but I would start small if you can find something that matches price and location.

(Which actually matches what really happened...you didn't pay anybody, and you didn't receive any pay for your stay.)In other words, there are no phantom expenses.  

I would sell the properties.4 rental properties over 3 years won't make you much money.Maybe 100 per door per month in cash flow and a matching amount in appreciation.That is $9,600 over a 3 year period assuming you have SFH's.You are improving your ability to make more money in a better position hopefully when you complete your master's degree.You will make that $9,600 working 2 weeks.The sale of the home will hopefully allow you and your wife be stress free for those 3 years helping you make a higher hourly rate.
