Is it worth is to keep it and have the hassle of continuing to find renters, deal with fix-up for many years to eventually pay it off and use it as income, or walk away with cash now..Long term I would have to do the roof, windows, back and front deck, and some carpet whereas I do not need to do these if I sell now.

Roof.. less than 10 years old is my guide line. brand new is better3.

You might get to live there and rent out the other 3 covering most of your mortgage so that is one aspect of it to consider just over a straight investment.I would be looking at a historical perspective over the last 10 years with rent growth and value of the property.

I plan to partner with a friend who is a roofing contractor and look to invest in rental mulifamily properties.

My goal going in was just to pick up something from listening and believe that I have grasped a couple business/life changing aspects.  

The inspection revealed that the property needed a new roof and the basement walls had bowed in due to runoff from the neighbors driveway.

It is a good community to network and learn about all aspects of real-estate investing.

@David Dey I really like how you breakdown every aspect pertaining to those public files,and how you could filter the most serious and active cash buyers.

I think if I stayed on top of the roof and maintained paint and eventually put in new asphalt, it would age well.

Also, at that price, HVAC should be in new condition and so should the roof.
