My choices right now seem to be walk away and lose the deposits or live with this a$$hole for an unknown amount of time without any income.

I mean, I want the property to be convenient to my renters...but it doesn't have to fit my commute time.Buying a primary home that does NOT need work will open up so many other choices for me that will fit my personal needs.

For me the separate investment property was the right choice, when I was ready.   

But if you do not have another place to live, and have the income, I personally don't think selling is the best choice, either.First, it will generally cost between 7-9% to sell ($206k × .08 = ~$16,480), so you would most likely have to bring money to the table.

You have the following choices- Do a video of the units & provide it to prospective tenants or ask your tenants to vacate for a showing.

How does this compare to this property in Tarrytown, NY Bayonne vs Tarrytown thoughts1. both seem to hold strong value because these areas are popular. 2.

I don't have much of a choice in NJ.

I'm looking to get involved in the REI community in the Boston area, and it has come to my attention that there are two popular REI associations; one of which is part of the National REIA, and the other of which is not.

@Hunter Phillips yeah now is probably a pretty decent time to buy a primary as you will face very little competition from other owner occupants and many primary residence choices don't make great investments so you might not have much competition there either. 

Class A/B areas are the more popular places for Airbnb's and their prices should reflect that.
