Before finalizing a decision to sell, I thought I’d get some thoughts from the BP forumThe only obvious factor I know to try to head off a problem is to carefully screen applicants.

I did find this deal driving driving for dollars, the realtor of the property was adding his sign in the front yard, I approached to make and offer. we close in 3 weeks.

I sense a bit of "purpose" that is driving you that you may not have thought of.

@Chris Ke With $200K for a down payment and the ability to invest full-time, consider starting with a 4-plex or multiple single-family homes (SFHs) within a 5-hour drive of Los Angeles in areas like San Bernardino or Riverside.

The numbers really drive the point home—85 people moving per year within our network is a huge opportunity that most agents and investors overlook.I love the structured approach you laid out, especially the focus on asking for referrals instead of direct business.

There should always be timeline contingencies factored into each projects specifics.

But that is calculated after expenses and depreciation is factored in. 

You could tell them to cancel the listing and you will find someone else to list it after a month not 4 months (the market take is subjective too, all dependent on what your house has compared to others, where it is located, the size of it, and so many other factors).

Then when you are driving in the car or doing anything you can listen to it and it helps alot!

It never occurred to me that I’d have to make the drive to this building for 2 months.
