I’m reaching out because I’m wondering if you might be interested in selling your house.Before going any further I want to point out:I am NOT a realtor.I am NOT a rich Californinan trying to buy their 4th house.I am just a hard-working young man from Wisconsin trying to build a life for myself in -----------.As I’m sure you are aware, the current housing situation is making it extremely difficult for normal, working class people to find a house.

Then the next year I resumed normal increases. 

Once you decide that you want to keep them on as tenants, then I'd do a small increase. 5% a year increase is usually the higher end of what someone will tolerate. 2-3% per year is pretty normal for rental increases. 

I’m trying to put myself in a normal person’s shoes, and I feel like I’d be more inclined to answer a phone call and discuss selling my home rather than responding to a post card or yellow letter.

Then treat it like a normal deal.

The situation is my moms long time neighbor ~20 years passed away of old age, I didn’t know him personally but grew up just a few houses down and said hello daily on my walk home from school, normal neighbor stuff.

I think there will be a stronger need for travel nurses who want that lifestyle.

Do house flippers normally just split the profits ?

Their lifestyle could be attracting pests or otherwise damaging the rental.

Some other articles say that I would owe the full capital gains on the investment side (half the unit so it would be half the capital gains normal tax).
