I would be waiting for the shoe to drop but it may take a while. 

A better approach would be for you to put yourself in the shoes of the type of person you would like to help you and think about how you might make them interested in doing so. 

And while I do not have anywhere near 200 doors I have certainly been in your friend's shoes on multiple occasions.

I remember being in your shoes.

If I were in your shoes, I would do it. 

My agent asked me to put myself in the new owners shoes and advised that I consider helping out with damage costs and come up with agreement that I am not responsible for any future liabilities at that house. 

If I were in your shoes, I would reach out to him to pick his brain on how he went about investing.  

@Sarah Albert  - If I were in your shoes, I would say you are over leveraged.

What would you do now armed with your experience if you were in my shoes?

Neither of us are truly happy here, however.If you were in our shoes, would you begin investing in a small MFH (if I could find one) in our current locale since I know what areas are worth investing in, or wait until I get a new job, or something else?
