Also, what’s the best way to ensure the area is safe and desirable for tenants?

It’s temporarily lost its shine because of the slow down in transactions.

. $360k equity (based on your estimated loan balance and estimated transaction costs if you sold, this is not calculating capital gains taxes but that would reduce your equity down to about $310k if you sold without doing a 1031 exchange). $8k cash flow (this will increase over time because you are in an appreciation market). $6k principal pay down (based on your current loan). $20k appreciation (based on 3% which is conservative, 4-5% is the historical average).

If you sell the property, a lot of the $107K cost will be eaten up in transaction cost.

If you want to go further, you can use a service like Safely or AutoHost to run background checks.For payments, I’d recommend using a platform like Stripe or Square—they’re secure and easy to set up.

Congratulations on your impressive success since 2021—that's quite an achievement to have closed over 100 transactions in such a short time.

Maybe also consider if they are "good people" that work in the community and just want a safe place to raise their family. 

Keep your automobiles safe..

This is the only way we've found that LPs can feel safe enough to share their true experiences - good, bad, and ugly. 

It depends on how the transaction is structured, and the history of the title and timing.
