This was my experience: after two months of my property sitting vacant waiting on furniture to deliver, I finally went out there and set it up myself because they never sent anyone.

We will lose out on $100k but get our cash out and the new investor will clear $100k by sitting on a deal for a year (while collecting rents).Does this seem feasible or something that would be attractive to an investor?

Would like decent occupancy, around 50%+, not too seasonal where it just sits empty half the year also.

Most people that I know just sit on it for decades, while paying property taxes.

I'd recommend sitting down daily and writing down every single action steps that will help you get closer to your goal and mark each one off as you go.

For the inner oven glass, a paste made from baking soda and water can be applied to the glass; let it sit for 15-20 minutes before wiping it off with a damp cloth.

This spring I had additional french drains put in between us and the house that sits a tad higher on the slope of the street above us.

You could then get a HELOC/LOC on that paid of property (a product that doesn't require you to use it) and then if you did have a big emergency you had a line to use on it.Now, ALL of this is dependent on how much money you have in the bank, how many properties you have, what your income will be like in retirement, what the standard age would be for your end of life (that's a scary one to think about), and while yes, you can certainly take equity out I just think it would be good to sit down with a financial planner...or even some other investors that are local to you that are around your age demographic and see what they are doing.I'm glad you are thinking about this for sure.  

Instead were sitting on equity, a handful of SFR, cash reserves, and looking for the next opportunity.

And I know 200k doesn’t mean much especially when it’s just sitting currently.
