I'm getting hung up on the questions...do I keep it because it cash flows well and it fits my goals for buy and hold?

It was going to be mostly sweat equity and I figure we could have it ready to rent by the time we had $15,000 total into it.However, our target area changed after we acquired it and we decided that this property didn't "fit" anymore and we're just unloading it.

With a purchase only the lender should only require a BPO which cost about $300 less and you can upgrade the home as you see fit since you are then only borrowing on the current market value.

The key is to speak to others who have done it and see if it fits with what your personal goals are.  

If anyone would be willing to connect me with someone who fits that criteria, please let me know.Thanks again.Conor

For me, it was a good fit but I didn't realize that until I spent some time early in my career getting to know the different strategies of investing.

Choose what bests fits you.

If you are in B/A areas, then they may have the extra money to appreciate it, want a nice green lawn, pride of ownership, etc.If all the neighbors have it, it's probably fitting you do.

*I also hope you all know that I left the "t" out of assessment as "syndi" seemed to be a better fit.

The thing with GC's is that some of them may charge for their time and you don't want to be paying guys $50-$100 for walkthroughs on properties that don't fit your criteria.
