Do a deep dive in there to look for high net worth individualsGood LuckGino

It is quite frustrating for sure and there are no shortage of people who take advantage of others but, ultimately, unless there is significant money you are loosing ($25k+) from this due to their lack of disclosure, it usually isn't worth your time.

Worth area.

Everything can be fixed at a costs, but is it worth it?

Steve,Unless you are cash fluid and have a good chunk of change to continue to buy more properties, I would tell you to pull out some cash.

Is it worth holding the property for long term appreciation ? 

I know I can extract cash flow from the property even though the interest rate is not that good i can still cash flow some money and refinance in the future.

Reason I do not want to do a cash out refi on my primary is because my rate is locked at 2.7%.

My main question is if these properties ended up cash flowing or gaining appreciation in the past few years? 

Reaching out to the owner is worth it.
