Just recently closed on a short sale for $140K (ARV $210-$215K) and got it rented in 12 days.As @Patti Robertson mentioned, Norfolk is really good for rental property...but I'd stay away from the historical districts...too much of pain in the know what with renovations.

Some of the more common symptoms that people who have been exposed to black mold experience are dizziness, migraines, rash, coughing, nose bleeds, blood shot eyes, vomiting, chest pains, fevers, and possibly even death.

If the 4-unit has been a pain, 1031 it.

I prepared mine with H&R block software and they made it pretty easy to enter my rental info.

What you may want to consider, is selling some assets into a Tax-Deferred Trust (avoid 1031 Pains, continue to defer gains) but since your equity is now US Treasuries for example, you could get a LOC against that. 98% LTV, 2.6% Interest Only.

Mail out letters to about 160 home owners in the couple blocks radius about the hearing.

So residents resort to install washer dryers in their own unit, or go to the laundromat a few blocks away.Years ago, I myself lived in an apartment building with coin opt laundry.

Ironically, the reason it will be a pain is because Bitcoin and it's brethren are not actually treated as "currencies" by the IRS.

The house is one block from the ocean and it sits on one half of a double lot. 

A house on my block was recently purchased after two years on the market.
