This has freed me up with extra time, is there someone who could use project managing or help with tedious task for example--I have my own truck to do store runsAlso, what are other good ways to get involved with local RE Investors in Denver? 

Hi Account Closed, I haven't had to do any major contracting work in my RE experience yet, but I did start doing research for a new multi-family construction/build in Hampton Roads and got great guidance and traction with Gary Tiller of Tiller Construction Company.I found him through buildzoom and he was one of the first contractors to respond and call me directly.

Management should get off their sorry rear ends now and begin the process of attempting to find a replacement tenant with the hoped for goal of a new lease starting in January 1st, 2018.If a new tenant is found sooner (and a lease is started on, say December 10th) and there is no damage above normal wear and tear to the rental unit then management would need to return the difference in rent back to the original (now departed) tenant (minus any expenses for advertising the unit to get it re-rented).The entire point is that it is totally untrue that the rental unit has to remain empty for the remainder of the lease while property management sits around doing nothing.Gail

I believe this to be the only RE Meetup in Waco but it is well worth your time!

Also based on what you mentioned...in this scenario...I am better off either selling the property and re-investing or leveraging my equity more by pulling it out and using that towards another investment?

TO get applicants in ,, we would say Free applications,, with signed lease.. so if they qualified, we'd credit the cost of application back to thier account,, they all still had to pay the application fee,, we just absorbed the cost if they signed a lease...

I think that rep probably is because many people try to get their start in RE by wholesaling and don't have a comprehensive understanding of how a rehab works or how much it costs.

If there is any way to undo the California filing (your first year's $800 is probably lost) and re-open it in Florida, that may be a better route to go.

My mortgage broker tells me that I need to wait about a year before I can re use my VA loan. 

And forget that people have feelings, and true business is really about being aware of that.I used to be part of a Real Estate agency called Synergy RE (inspired by Stephen Covey), and on our business card was a logo of two people intertwining (an artsy kind of drawing).
