My simple formula is to count warm bodies.

Also do not count on the fact that your tenants are going to be that much better just because its a higher end property.

Anyway, enough about me.Will take a lot of time to map out the entire investment strategy, but here is one high-level advice.You should always find a person (or couple people) who you can count on so that you can remove yourself from being onsite (since you might be at working ie. flying).  

Does that mean that current payments in forbearance count?  

You just can't count on selling a place depending of course but that is one thing to watch out for. 

You may find a buyer though that is looking for exactly what you have but do not count on any bank valuating it the same or appraising it the same and if they are your buyer's lender don't be surprised if they appraise it much lower than you would like.

If its just stinky and cluttered with all sorts of trash and garbage that doesn't count.

Taxes on sold properties that we then reinvest into more – Do we take the tax hit, or is the purchase of additional properties counted as a business expense, or if not is a 1031 possible.

When a lender pulls your credit it counts as an inquire which is bad if you have multiple inquires in a short time period.Ray

This place does not show that great  and is marketed as 4br 2ba but one of the bedrooms does not count since its in the basement and does not have egress window(the window looks into the garage...)
