My family lives in the Bay Area and have the following properties:1.) 5-bedroom SFH (their current home) - comps for similar houses in area are around $2 mil, mortgage is paid off, old house and needs major work if they were to sell2.) 2-bedroom Condo –comps are around $600k, still have $300k remaining in mortgage, currently leasing it out for $2500/month which just barely covers the mortgage payment + HOA, in pretty good condition and needs very little work to sell3.) 3-bedroom SFH – unoccupied and worth about $1 mil+ according to comps, used to take in about $3000/month from previous tenant, needs major work before selling ($200k+) Does anyone have any thoughts on these properties and some general advice on what they should do?

You keep an investor at bay and start negotiations with the seller.

Hi All,Looking to get some advice on what I should take as my next steps.My wife and I purchased a new construction town home in the Bay Area 2 years ago for $1.15M, plus the builder allowed us to pay for upgrades in cash which ultimately kept our property taxes a bit lower.

Martin's SF Bay Summit (great conference by the way) and really appreciate @J Scott for not only working the room but adding extra add-on's to help drive the bidding higher! 

. :)and the other tough one for Portland proper is the having to pay 4k to move a tenant under certain circumstances.but hey in certain cities in  the Bay area it can cost 20 to 50k to get a tenant to move..
