Take an amount of money you can afford to lose and take action.

I am now losing money because of taxes and insurance which has increased each yr. 

Needless to say many people are losing their livelihood over this.I’m wondering what you all have done to cope with the Clown World we are currently living in, where tenants can continually live in without paying?

The state will even lose a house seat for the first time ever.2) @Shiva Bhaskar and @Karl B. mention the low(er) property taxes in Cali.

If it is borderline I think I would lose the dumpster. 

We have a storm brewing right now and the CARES act is supposed to end in October leaving a lot of people in a situation where they may lose their homes.If that does happen Nationwide that will cause a high number of foreclosures and short sales. 

Avoiding capital gains is an exclusion the IRS gives owner-occupants and if you occupy a property and then move out you eventually lose that exclusion.   

If you have that loan out 6 months instead of 3, you will lose money on this deal.

The leases are total about $1800 below market and I would be losing roughly $650 a month until the leases expire. 

So 50% of all agents make less than that.Like any small business start up, if you are planning on being successful, plan on losing money the first 2 years full time in the business.
