- Playing tennis or golf?

We sold our 4plexes (2/1s) for $250k/ea back in 2015 era, our SFDs were anywhere from $110-$165k.We also played in Hammond a bit but... be very careful on location, tax basis, and I would caution you about rental inspections. 

Do I have any remedy other than to continue to pay the mortgage until the house is sold.

Most don’t even bother to tune into job and unemployment numbers anymore due to how skewed different data sets have become.Even though the most conservative figures show housing rebounding, especially in hot areas like San Diego, there continue to be doubters.

We’ll see soon if that continues to be the case.Rents have doubled in the last 5 years and will likely remain high.

If you want to continue to have her as your resident, you can ask her for another pet deposit for the cat. 

And what if the end buyer wants to buy and hold the property and not fix and flip, are they continuously paying holding costs?

I don't think my costs are nearly as much as Russell said but if i had to guess it's still easily over a grand for me when you add in the NAR dues, mls fees, continuing education and every little thing they nickle and dime out of you like lockboxes, lockbox set up fees not to mention monthly servicing fees just for the stupid box.

Then do it all again and continue to build your portfolio.

I personally would like to continue buying properties to rent out every year but he feels that is risky and will lead to unpayable debt.
