This is probably the hardest and most time consuming aspect of what I plan to do.

We don't want to leave money on the table, but at the same time we don't want to sit on the place forever either.  

Being a broker forever, I can say this:  it is often the buyer's agent's fault; we just don't like having to make appointments with uncooperative tenants.  

IE hey I can sell your complex for 15 million.. that's what they lead with NOT hey how much are your rents.. to me that would come last and in due diligence.I followed a linear path to you when I came to Oregon SW Wa and was buying timber rights and timber land.who was my target market..  65 to 100 year old owners who had lived on the land forever..

You can't protect them forever.

"Its coming" can be forever.  

It would take me forever to reach my goals buying real estate at retail prices and putting 25% down each time. 

The latest fraud, going on for a few years, is scammers hacking title company and agent emails, sending you wiring instructions to the scammers bank....where it is gone forever.

Now I can understand why that would be of benefit to someone with W-2 income and rental losses, but surely one doesn't intend for the losses to go on forever.
