I paid $154,000 for an 1 acre lot, the economy crashed and so did the lot price to $30,000, the price as of today is $90,000, I don't think holding on to it Is a good idea anymore I still have to pay for lot Maintinance, community fess and property tax on it, any opinion will be appreciated.

Thought this community might have some ideas - I'd love to get in touch!

If it's a high-touch (i.e. people wash the cars) you have staffing, compliance, payroll, etc. to deal with and you have no idea how "creative" employees are when it comes to theft.

This gives them an idea of what to expect and also a chance to cure anything before move out. 

I have no idea how I made it almost totally unscathed. 20 or so properties made up of 1000 units spread out all over.

Any ideas/help will be greatly appreciated!

I am asking for any ideas or suggestions.

I really appreciate your thoughts and ideas.

You have come to the right place...here you will find all the resources to get you going towards your investment goal. yes, market is hot right now, so finding a deal via MLS in Chicago north side is hard...but you can still find deals if you act early and not look where everyone else is looking...or find properties which need work, get them rehabbed and then refinance out...House hacking via FHA loan may also be a good idea.
