I know it's possible to get land in some areas for $3k per block where the cost to develop might be $30k, so even if you sell it just at the cost to develop in a few years you are doing ok.

Once you discover your mistake, however, you have to act, it's just what you have to do when a problem tenant does get in, and from your posts, again, IMO, you've been slow off the blocks and missed opportunities to document and support a probable eviction.Good luck, but you're a landlord, not someone who can influence a change in someone else's mental makeup.

Some of it, you aren't going to learn by driving around the block and looking at the neighborhood.My area always has a huge number of out-of-state investors.

House next door is on MLS for $140k (on smaller lot), same block one house sold this year for $117k.

If buyers understand the complications and road blocks placed in their way, they will become more agreeable to alternative methods to meet their goals.
