My rule of thumb when walking with contractors is if they talk more about themselves and past projects compared to what they will do on this project thats a hard no. 

Cost of Borrowing: Compare the interest rates and fees associated with a HELOC or cash-out refinance to the hard money loans you’ve been using.

Double-check the ARV by comparing recent comps in the area to make sure the numbers add up.Run your numbers again with all costs (purchase, rehab, holding, and resale) to confirm the margins are solid.

Comparable property sales do not affect the depreciation basis, which is determined by actual purchase and improvement costs.

Understand the fees involved and calculate the total cost for an entire year of management so you can compare the different managers.

It could be helpful to compare strategies.

Long and short, when I now look at my "return on Equity" numbers as opposed to my casual on cash return numbers it makes all the sense in the world for me to sell.Wholesalers contact me at least once a month the past 10 years and are always asking if I want to sell one of my properties, but I'll be hard-pressed to ever find a wholesaler that wants to pay me for what these properties are worth and is also willing to buy all the properties in one transaction which is how I'm looking to sell.Given how good our return numbers are here in northeastern Ohio compared to the parts of the country I know that out of state investors would definitely be very interested in in this portfolio.
