Best guess if we were a plane flight away and not a fairly short drive, there would be less demand from groups of 15-25 or so people. 

Residential propertiea have a much larger pool of buyers, thus higher demand, thus higher price.Whether these are two quads, or a single 8 unit will be in thebtax records.

If your portfolio is a good deal you won't have an issue finding buyers.If you truly have control of a package is one thing, if you are trying to play match maker with no real control, that is a weaker position.

I bought and moved to a condo, and when my closing attorney wrote them a demand letter, I got the refund in a week.I watch court shows on TV where landlords try to keep deposits with pictures of garbage left behind and damages, and usually the judges are not sympathetic attributing it to wear and tear.

Our game will have to play out where we are both onboard.
