If you win more than you lose then overall the portfolio and gains are positive over time.    

At the very least, you have boots on the ground to check out a property if you get into a pinch.That being said, not everybody can or wants to pick up and move to Florida.I can't remember where I heard this, but someone suggested that you should invest w/in 2 hours of where you live, including flights and time that it takes to travel to the airport.

That's a very cool model, @Andy Luick , and I love the fact that your investment philosophy is a win-win for your business and the tenants.  

My ultimate push for keeping the property is keeping the eye on the prize of being able to utilize the sale of this property down the road into a 1031 exchange for a property that has more units and cash flows significantly better.

$2M for a 50 unit would be 40k a unit which puts you mostly in C areas i'd say her win columbus. 

I then asked the court clerk which Atty had the most success in winning cases.  

Can a real estate investor find a solution to this so everyone wins?

I have both bought and sold through a property manager of mine, both ways were a win-win for everyone.As for the Top 5 LANDLORD Mistakes, I will just re-iterate:1.

Obviously, it needs to be a win-win situation for both of you.

A true win/win.
