Google WPREIA and ACRE they are our two main groups.. there are also several facebook groups that branch off of those.

My husband and I bought our first home in 2016 before we got married, and it doesn’t have enough equity to sell, and the main reason the guy decided to sell was because he couldn’t get any renters in it.

Many of you may not know, but a while back Zillow bought their main competitor, Trulia.

It's a nice house with a fenced in backyard and balcony very close to the main strip.

The most important thing to look at is the historical operation of the property, then factor in the expense ratios or nearby properties, consider the differed maintenance, age of building, class of building and other operational expenses you may add or subtract to optimize NOI

I have caution with condo's, as the maintenance needs to be factored in and you are at the mercy of assessments and rising maintenance fees, which can significantly eat away at any cash flow you may have.

The other factor to consider is I would lose the HELOC on the house which I have used as my reserves should a large expense (like a roof or furnace) arise.If anyone has done something similar, share your story. 

These can eat up a significant amount of water.Shut the water main off and see what happens.You can also contact the water company, explain the home is vacant, and ask for a credit.

Also open to hearing doubts, fears, etc for people who have decided to not go, as long as cost is not the main driver.I know BP in general advises against “Guru” programs.

I'm using a vacancy factor or 10% although rent demand is high.
