My current long term renters are moving out in 30 days and that is what has spurred this big decision.Here are the numbers and the situation we are in, we have about 60k into this property comparables are selling in my area for 160k-180k so we are set up to make a large profit if we decide to sell and reinvest the profit in a larger multi family property, the downside is it is very hard to find a good deal in this area and we would most likely have to over pay in order to find a 1031 exchange property.

It also provides a base line by which to compare different types of properties.The problem with the CAP Rate is that it provides a huge opportunity to manipulate the numbers.

Hmmm, also another low cost high reward opportunity is to obtain your real estate license. 

Currently comps are tough because we don't have a true turn key comp to compare ours too.

It is low compared to rule of thumb 1%. 

So I simply compared investing in either equities or real estate.

So areas like that are not a smart bet compared with more urban areas.

Let me compare two hypothetical scenarios for you. 

Am selling one of my properties, I see lots of discussion for buyers on which type of loan to use, but what about for a SELLER.i have two comparable offers,  but one is subject to FHA and the other Conventional loan. 

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