I hope this helps.

Just like everything else in life, get started, keep honing those skills (i.e. keep reading, keep learning, keep attending the meetups) and watch yourself get better and better witch each property you buy.I hope this helps and good luck on your real estate journey!

You lose any appreciation play, but you also lose a downside loss when the market dips.

obviously if they are a property manager they are hopefully going to have more then one account so you would quantify that number. :)   that should make more sense then my first post. 

Hope it helps! 

If they come back I win, if they don't I don't lose.

Good morning all, after alot of working overtime and long weekends I decided it's time to stop procrastinating and finally make a decision that will hopefully put me in a position to not have to spend long hours at work and more time with my family

How should i approach this with respect to losing these folks?

For me, the buyer’s interest payments wouldn’t be close to the current cash flow and I’d have to pay capital gains taxes, so I’d lose even more.

You're just losing money.
