As it sits the realtor is telling me that the current tenants want to renew the lease this April.

I feel the best place to find investment groups in the Albuquerque area is through meetup.comHere are some of the meetups and their frequencies:Investing in Albuquerque - Monthly mixer (every second Tuesday) & Monthly meetup (every fourth Tuesday)ABQ Congress on Real Estate - Monthly meetup (every second Thursday)Apartment Investor Breakfast - Monthly meetup (every second Friday)ABQ REIA - Monthly meetup (every third Wednesday)Apartment Association of New Mexico - Check the events page for everything they put onAlso, I’d be happy to sit down with you and talk about the Albuquerque market if you are interested.Let me know if you have any specific questions!

Much more expensive and time consuming the the alternative of shutting down the current field line, leaving it where it sits, and putting in new field line elsewhere on your property. ** NOTE unless you have an earthquake the septic tank is self should last until the end of time it's just a big tank made of concrete. 

But it  Sits on 10.5 acres.

Hello folks in the BP Davis community.I have a SFR that was our prior residence in Davis CA that has been rented out for 8 yrs and now we plan on selling after lease runs out this June.We need a good design build firm or contractor we can work with to run the project as we live out of state (Vancouver WA) and spruce it up with light rehab as much of the house is untouched since built in 2003.We are definitely NOT doing crazy expensive upgrades but will do a moderate upgrade so that we can max the value add/ROI that's worthy of the  good neighborhood this house sits in (Wildhorse). esp as we transition from current renters to selling to end user (eg likely family).Does anyone have good trusted contractor or design build firm they can vouch for that does well executed remodels on time, on budget?

I’d just rather be able to invest the money and do something with it rather than it sitting in a checking account earning 0% or a savings account earning 0.2%

I've just been watching a LOT of houses sit on the market for 6+ months because sellers dont want to be upside down when they sell.

I don't understand why it isn't fixed up to rent or flip, instead just sitting there?

If he was sitting on a nice chunk of equity , and did not give a crap about the house... there would be be a realtor sign in the front yard.   

I can sit here and negotiate with you until the titanic floats, we may even agree, but if you didn't sign in writing, you are no different than Sailor Timmy who called on the phone and said "how much" and then hung up.You can't sue someone for taking further action than you were willing to go, or because the world didn't wait for you to catch up.
